Abstract

Taiga is a Spanish open-source project management software that was created in 2014. After achieving success with over 20 million users, a rewrite is started in 2021 in order to modernise the application. However, this soon came to a halt: the original team is no longer able to continue the project. So, after 10 years of development and with many users eagerly awaiting this sequel, is this the end?

Thanks to the magic of open source, the story continues. A French cooperative that was also working on Taiga, took the project under its wing, ready to start afresh.

Join us to discover the origins of Tenzu (formerly Taiga-Next), find out where we are now, and learn about our future plans.

Julie Rymer

I started my career as a developer in 2016, primarily working with Python/Django and Angular. After spending a couple of years as a CTO, I started my own cooperative company, where we develop the open-source project management software Tenzu. I still spend most of my days doing hands-on web development work in a small team, which I have to balance with the day-to-day administration of the company.
