Top Open Source Web-Based Project Management Software

This is an user contributed article.
Project management software is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives. A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don't have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calender, gantt charts, email notification and much more.
Obviously I'm not the only user, the following open source software is used by some of the biggest research organizations and companies world wild. For example, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses track software or open source project such as lighttpd / phpbb use redmine software to keep track of their projects.

In this fashion my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain everything they want.

THESE are the same methods tons of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.

That's really because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe this thought has even taken place INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 on his bank card.

"I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"

You've been a part of those those types of questions, ain't it so?

Your success story is going to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
