ProjectLibre is an open source alternative to Microsoft Project. A compliment to Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. We have a community site as well at http://www.projectlibre.org It has been downloaded in 194 countries the first month of release and was just voted Sourceforge's "Project of the Month" ProjectLibre is compatible with Microsoft Project 2003, 2007 and 2010 files. You can simply open them on Linux, Mac OS or Windows. ProjectLibre has been rewritten and added key features:
* Compatibility with Microsoft Project 2010
* User Interface improvement
* Printing (does not allow printing)
* Bug fixes
The ProjectLibre team has been the key innovators in project management software. In development of a cloud/server replacement of Microsoft Project Server. If you download please donate so we can continue https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=PZRJ24PWQE5C8

Simple. Useful. Light.

I'm not sure if it's because it's Java-based, but I'm frustrated by the lack of normal Windows behavior in ProjectLibre. Cntrl-S does not save, Cntrl-X does not cut (it just copies to buffer, the Cntrl-V pastes but leaves original cell as it was), ESC doesn't exit out of dialog boxes, arrow up/down moves the cursor sometimes but not always, highlighting several task rows and choosing to "insert" doesn't insert several rows but instead just adds one (and at unexpected spots), moving/copying a task to an existing summary task does not adjust predecessors for existing tasks in that summary task. Most of this I think is related to it being in Java (would it be that much harder to build for Windows too? I know, easier asked than done...) It's all just a bit too messy to recommend. However, considering that it's free and Project starts at 600 dollars, I'll keep suffering through for at least my current project, since feature-wise it does seem fairly on par with Project.
Better than opeproj. fix all the bugs!
Far from prime-time: Windows 7, Java 7 u 25 - scrolling takes many seconds, makes SW unusable. UI is poor - the worst of ribbon and the worst of Java Printing is a joke (screen capture turns out to be the only way to get a useful capture). Zooming primitive. Setting the appropriate regional date format is a Java-Windows clusterfrag. The Mac version won't start, gives cryptic error message. Main project forums as spam and split into regions, which makes 0 sense.

Oh my! This is a wonderful program and easy to use. The program does just about everything Microsoft does and the folks here are operating on donations which is a blessing for someone like me that has been laid off. I highly recommend the PM software as well as all the other wonderful programs offered here. The templates are great. Everything is just click-click and it's done. The results are professional and stunning. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough but I hope it will suffice. 5 stars!
I used to use Openproj on Windows 7 until my files wouldn't open, lots of hair pulling and colourful language! Found ProjectLibre and the same files now open very easily plus the interface is much easier. Good job folks and thanks!
