About¶

The goal of open+pario is to create an online community that is centered around the open and free exchange of ideas. To accomplish this, the Redmine Project Management framework, an open source project, has been set up to allow users to organize projects and hopefully find other users who may be interested. Initially, most of the projects will be focused on engineering design, but in reality, the software can be used by anyone who has a need for project management software, especially for those projects that are being run in a distributed fashion.

The open+pario project originated at Oregon State University, and has been a multi-university collaborative project. It was originally started as a tool for engineering students to collaboratively work on design projects, and was used in the thesis work of Michael Koch. Currently, the site is being hosted on Linode servers in New Jersey, and is open for anyone to use.
