How to call out contributions to your new, open source releases

OpenProject is committed to a release cycle of every four weeks. Is this ambitious? Yes. Does it offer them special opportunities despite the extra effort? Also, yes.

One of them is the chance to call out those who contributed to bug fixes, feature requests and feedback, and other types of support in that cycle. This includes companies, institutions, and individuals by name.

In the latest release (14.1.0), OpenProject shares the following:

Contributions

A very special thank you goes to our sponsors for the features and improvements of this release:

  • The City of Cologne for sponsoring features on project attributes.
  • Deutsche Bahn for sponsoring the OneDrive/SharePoint integration.
  • German Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs (BMI) for sponsoring the features on progress reporting.

Also a big thanks to our Community members for reporting bugs and helping us identify and provide fixes. Special thanks for reporting and finding bugs go to Marc Burk, Silas Kropf, and Hanley Loller.

Last but not least, we are very grateful for our very engaged translation contributors on Crowdin, who translated quite a few OpenProject strings! This release we would like to highlight user Syvert who has done an outstanding number of translations for the Norwegian language in recent weeks.

Would you like to help out with translations yourself? Then take a look at our translation guide and find out exactly how you can contribute. It is very much appreciated!

Thus, the OpenProject Community is strong and growing. The software is open source, and the company is open in the way that it takes and responds to feedback. The door is open.

Have you considered calling out your contributors on new releases?
