[lug] Open Source ticket/bug tracking systems?

[Sean Brady]

Hello all,

I'm new to this list, and I am looking forward to meeting everyone at 
the next meeting.  In the meantime, check out Redmine 
(http://www.redmine.org/).  I have been using it for a couple months now 
and I've been very happy with it.  It has a pretty granular permission 
set, so you can restrict access to different projects based on user ID.  
It also supports LDAP authentication, which is a big plus for me.  It 
also supports issue creation via email, and will do email notification 
on issue add/edit/delete.

The thing that I like the most about it is that it's a complete project 
management system and it's very flexible.  You can change almost any 
field, or ad your own.  It will support issues from initial report to 
the fix, with a visual roadmap.  It will also integrate with most OSS 
SCM's.  I have it running on the same machine that I use as my master 
GIT repository internally, and it allows you to see commit comments, 
diffs, files, etc.  You can set keywords for status changes based on 
words in the commit comments- IE "fixes issue #34", and Redmine will 
change the status of the issue accordingly.  It supports time tracking, 
has integrated GANTT charts, and a plugin structure with great community 
support.

It's based on Ruby on Rails, which might turn some people off, but I've 
been real happy with it.

Best of luck,

Sean
