I’m happy to announce an open-source project management software called activeCollab It is still new, but it has already got very positive feedback on Digg and Techcrunch. Mostly because it is free Basecamp-like script. This software is made by a guy from Serbia, Ilija Studen, well known on web forums.

Here is decription from his web site:

“ActiveCollab is an easy to use, web based, open source collaboration and project management tool. Set up an environment where you, your team and your clients can collaborate on active projects using a set of simple, functional tools. 100% free!”

Congratulations, Ilija!
