#DuckDuckFedi, please tell me about your favourite open source project management tools.

I would be prepared to consider proprietary software if I can just buy a fucking license once and then run it on my own PC or server and never interact with the company again.

Absolutely no cloud-based services run by third parties.

Must-haves:

• It needs to run on Linux (either locally or on a server I control)
• Gantt charts
• To-do listing of some kind - Kanbans are fine, but other approaches work too.

It would also be nice to have the ability to assign tasks to multiple users. This can be by email or just within the program, but I need to be able to label tasks as assigned to different people.

I do not need that to be a live self-hosted service, although I don't mind hosting one if I have to. (Is this something Odoo does or am I misremembering?)

My main focus is production for publishing and gamedev, with teams of <10 people.

However, I also want to be able to use it for standard business management stuff.

In quite an aggressive bit of annoyance of my (fully functional) @Kobo Elipsa mostly collecting dust due to the #enshitification of the Kobo Firmware (requiring users to be logged in; working around that might put your data at risk of getting wiped at the next firmware update) ...

I took the plunge today and ordered a @pine64eu PineNote. At least that is a device which is properly hackable. Yes, I'm fully aware that the user experience will not be like a fully finished product. But that's perfectly fine - simply because it is hackable.

The hardware is great, it's the firmware which is really annoying me and I don't have the patience to hack on a completely new firmware for it.
