Dear OpenProject Community, What a year of contrasts 2025 was! Full of growth, progress and meaningful = impact. But at the same time, full of threats, uncertainties, and alarming = announcements. How can we remain positive with all the challenges we face e= very day? We believe that this is precisely why optimism matters more than = ever. It is a choice to see opportunity where others see obstacles, to focu= s on solutions rather than problems. We should roll up our sleeves and be the change we want to see in this worl= d, not waiting for someone else to act. Every small effort, every thoughtfu= l decision, and every collaboration contributes to a larger impact. By stay= ing hopeful, committed, and proactive, we turn uncertainty into possibility= and challenges into milestones for progress. And we are proud of everythin= g we have achieved together over the past year. As we close another chapter= , we want to pause, look back, and celebrate together: with our team, our C= ommunity, our partners, and our users =E2=80=94 with you! This year, OpenProject continued to live up to its mission: delivering open= source, sovereign, and powerful project management to organizations of any= kind: Empowering teams to achieve great things together for the good of so= ciety. And we did that not just by adding features but by thinking deeply a= bout why open source matters today more than ever. We started 2025 with a lot of energy. Today, at the end of 2025, we look ba= ck with pride, gratitude and optimism. Thank you for your trust, your feedb= ack, your engagement and your contributions. Whether you are a long-time us= er, a newcomer, a contributor, a supporter, or just someone curious: you ma= ke OpenProject what it is. Let=E2=80=99s continue building software that empowers teams =E2=80=94 not = locks them in. Let=E2=80=99s continue our support for digital sovereignty, = open collaboration and transparent infrastructure. Let=E2=80=99s stay open,= inclusive, quality-driven and always ready to listen to our Community. To= gether, we make OpenProject not just a any tool, but a shared foundation fo= r collaboration, trust and freedom. Below you will find a summary of the topics that were important to us this = year. We are happy to receive so much valuable feedback from you. Please fe= el free to send us your=C2=A0comments and suggestions, or other topics that= are important to you. Here=E2=80=99s to 2026. =F0=9F=8C=9F Kind regards, Birthe Lindenthal CMO and Co-founder None [1] =F0=9F=9A=80 What we shipped in 2025 ** The highlights of this release are the integration of Nextcloud into OpenProject as well as the improvement of the date picker and the option to now log time for other users than yourself. Continued regular releases, real improvements In 2025, we shipped a total = of 28 releases, each bringing meaningful, visible improvements to our users= . Among the most important enhancements were: Major UI and accessibility upgrades, along with improved filtering, usabili= ty refinements, and new configuration options for dark and high contrast mo= des. Significant enhancements to the Meetings module, including meeting bac= klogs, recurring meetings, agenda item outcomes, PDF exports, and improved = invitation flows. Improved scheduling with automatic =E2=80=9Cas soon as po= ssible=E2=80=9D scheduling mode, better progress calculations, and support = for entering lags. Portfolio management improvements, incl. project life-cy= cle management and calculated values for project evaluation and scoring. Ti= me-tracking improvements, including a dedicated calendar view and PDF expor= ts for timesheets. Enhanced file-storage integrations for Nextcloud and Sha= rePoint. Additional collaboration features such as internal comments (Enter= prise add-on), automatically generated work package titles, work package re= minders to notify users at a later point in time, and numerous refinements = to support more flexible and efficient teamwork. These updates reflect our= commitment to continuous meaningful improvements instead of bells and whis= tles, but making the tool more helpful, more accessible, and more reliable = for everyday work. Our=C2=A0 release notes [2] =C2=A0provide an overview of= all updates. You can even view the fantastic new release videos we introdu= ced in 2025. Industry recognition: OpenProject as a top-rated PM solution In March 2025= , we were honored to be recognized by Gartner Digital Markets (via Capterra= , GetApp, Software Advice) as one of=C2=A0 the leading project management s= olutions 2025 worldwide [3] . This recognition is not just a badge but a tr= ibute to our users, our Community, and our persistent dedication to quality= and open source values. Reinforcing our strategic roadmap: our vision meets execution in 2026 and b= eyond At the start of 2025, we published our=C2=A0 roadmap [4] , spotlight= ing key themes like portfolio management, team collaboration, integrations = & API, usability & accessibility =E2=80=94 and even a mobile app on the hor= izon. It=E2=80=99s inspiring for us to see so many of those planned items t= ake shape throughout the year and not least because they align with real ne= eds of organizations scaling sustainably. In 2026 and beyond, OpenProject is expanding its capabilities across key st= rategic areas to empower organizations with even more robust, secure, and f= uture-ready collaboration. The 2026 roadmap focuses on advancing the migrat= ion from Atlassian Jira, strengthening IT Service Management (ITSM), and de= epening support for agile project management. It further enhances test mana= gement, portfolio management, and resource and capacity planning to improve= cross-team efficiency and transparency. In addition, OpenProject is investing in powerful AI integrations to automa= te workflows and provide actionable insights, while also extending real-tim= e collaboration in text editors. Together, these focus areas shape a compre= hensive strategy to support digital transformation and agile administration= in the years ahead. None [5] =F0=9F=92=99 Why 2025 mattered =E2=80=94 beyond features *** Because open source and digital sovereignty matter more than ever We live = in a world where digital infrastructure shapes power, autonomy, and trust. = With rising geopolitical tensions, shifting regulations and increasing atte= ntion to data sovereignty, it=E2=80=99s no longer optional to ask where you= r data is stored, but it becomes fundamental. OpenProject stands for a different path: open source, transparent, self-hos= table, privacy-conscious. In 2025, we saw more organizations, especially in= public administration and regulated environments, look for exactly that ki= nd of sovereignty, control, and independence, rather than signing up for cl= osed SaaS tools. This is not just about software, it=E2=80=99s about preser= ving freedom, democracy and trust in digital collaboration. All the happier we are that also=C2=A0 openDesk, the sovereign workplace by= Zentrum Digitale Souver=C3=A4nit=C3=A4t (ZenDiS) [6] , is gaining traction= and organizations such as German State Premiers and the International Crim= inal Court chose openDesk in 2025. We are happy that we are part of this, c= ontributing Portfolio and Project Management as well as collaboration funct= ionalities. Because our team and Community outshine everything Our success this year w= ould not have been possible without the vibrant and engaged team. In May th= is year, we gathered for our company offsite in Brandenburg. Spinning new i= deas, fostering team spirit and spending fun time together. Watch our=C2=A0= team video [7] =C2=A0to get an impression. We want to thank our team, who = showed up with passion, patience and persistence throughout the year. You m= ake it happen! =E2=80=9CWhen the wind turns wild, set your sails with intention. Storms re= veal the strongest navigators. In these times of uncertainty, it is more im= portant than ever to collaborate with our friends. Digital sovereignty is a= joint task for Europe in order to stand up for our values and thus for our= democracy.=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 Birthe Lindenthal, CMO and Co-founder And all of this would not have been possible without the Community around O= penProject. From bug reports and feature requests to translations, document= ation contributions, testing, feedback and support: every single contributi= on matters. The 2025 Gartner recognition, the smooth releases, the roadmap = follow-through, all of it stands on the shoulders of our Community. And finally, we thank our close partners and sponsors once again. i.e. City= of Cologne, Deutsche Bahn, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, and ZenDiS. Of course= , it=E2=80=99s great to release software for free. But developers want to b= e paid, open source or not. That=E2=80=99s why we would like to express our= heartfelt thank you to our loyal partners who support us with feature spon= sorship. All these upstream contributions benefit other users. Because we stand up as a serious alternative to proprietary PM stacks With= the announced=C2=A0 discontinuation of Atlassian Data Center [8] , 2025 ha= s become a crucial year for companies evaluating their future tools. We wer= e aware of this and worked to position OpenProject not just as =E2=80=9Cano= ther project management tool=E2=80=9D, but as a standalone, mature alternat= ive and a reliable partner for an immediate switch. In doing so, we have ma= de a small but important contribution to digital independence on a large sc= ale. Because we build a strong ecosystem with our partners 2025 also marked an = important year for strengthening the open source ecosystem around OpenProje= ct. We know that digital sovereignty cannot be achieved alone. It is a team= effort =E2=80=94 in Germany, across Europe, and with strong partners who s= hare our vision. In 2025, we were proud to strengthen international collabo= ration, from our participation in the=C2=A0 DINUM Hackathon in Paris [9] , = where we explored cross-border solutions for open, privacy-first collaborat= ion, to=C2=A0 participating in the Franco-German Digital Sovereignty Summit= [10] =C2=A0in Berlin, reaffirming the importance of sovereign solutions fo= r public administration. Together with our partners, we deepened a network of powerful, privacy-resp= ecting alternatives to proprietary platforms. Our long-standing partnership= with Nextcloud continued to grow, enabling seamless content collaboration = through our=C2=A0 Nextcloud integration [11] =C2=A0and offering organizatio= ns a secure, sovereign alternative to Microsoft 365. We were excited to par= ticipate as sponsors in many Nextcloud Enterprise Days, such as in Copenhag= en, The Hague, and Paris, as well as at the Nextcloud Summit in Munich. At = the same time, we intensified our=C2=A0 collaboration with XWiki [12] =C2=A0= to build an open, extensible alternative to Atlassian Confluence =E2=80=94 = and we are already working on the first integration. This is where open sou= rce truly shows its strength: when independent projects unite their communi= ties, their knowledge, and their innovations. Because in this ecosystem, 1+= 1 becomes 3 =E2=80=94 and organizations gain real freedom of choice.
