JavaForge, the Free Collaboration Platform for the Open Source World
Abstract
Thu 16:40 - 17:25 Uhr | 2007
The JavaForge was launched in 2005 as the first Subversion backed, free
collaboration platform for the Open Source World.
It provides today a rich set of application life cycle management
capabilities including enterprise Wiki, trackers for bugs, task, changes and
requirements as well as project management.
The next version of JavaForge comes with a fully integrated Eclipse Mylar
plug-in and a NetBeans module that extends a rich set of capabilities
resulting in increased developers’ productivity. Through the integrated
infrastructure, developers are able to collaborate, share knowledge, and
work effectively together from different locations using their IDE’s or the
Web.
A live demonstration will be given about how JavaForge is being used by open
source developers. It will be also mentioned what managers could adapt from
open source experiences to improve their existing techniques in the
corporate culture.
