At LinuxWorld on August 7, OpenProj was officially unveiled.

Projity introduces the new app to the world: “OpenProj is ideal for desktop project management and is available on Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows, even opening existing Microsoft or Primavera files. OpenProj shares the industry’s most advanced scheduling engine with Project-ON-Demand and has Gantt Charts, Network Diagrams (PERT Charts), WBS and RBS charts, Earned Value costing and more. There is literally no time or effort involved in switching to OpenProj and your teams can manage projects in Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows for free.”

Adding detail to my earlier post on OpenProj, Computerworld announces LinuxWorld: SaaS rival to Microsoft Project goes open source.

“Called OpenProj, the still-in-beta software will be bundled with several leading flavors of the Linux operating system, according to an interview last week with Projity CEO Marc O’Brien. Confirmed distributions so far include Mandriva, Mint and the Gentoo-derived Sabayon… O’Brien hopes these moves will help OpenProj eventually win between 7 million and 11 million users — making it a true rival to Microsoft Corp.’s market-dominating Project software, which currently claims 20 million users.”
