New version of Eventum (1.4) released

You may or may not have heard of Eventum… it’s an issue tracking system that MySQL AB uses to manage its technical support.

Eventum’s history in a nutshell:
It was written by Joao Prado Maia, and it was already looking rather nifty before its first official release! However, MySQL support needed more, and nothing else came even close to being suitable.
After some talks, Joao and Eventum both joined MySQL AB, Joao continuing to work on Eventum (now joined by Bryan Alsdorf) and Eventum was released under the GPL license.

When doing talks at user groups and conferences, recently I’m often getting feedback from users who tell me that they use Eventum for their own internal or external needs, and that they really like it!
So that’s great news. Of course, systems such as these are always subject to your individual requirements and also your way of working. It may or may not suit you. But if you’re interested, do take a peek.

  1. Is there an Eventum wiki? How about Eventum discussion forums? I’m trying to change part of a customer lookup display and wondered where I could learn more about how what works. I found the display template and function, and I have enabled “Smarty” debug and the information that’s supposed to be there is there, but it’s not showing up.

    TIA.

  2. There are two mailing lists for Eventum:
    eventum-users (see http://lists.mysql.com/eventum-users for archive and subcribing)
    and http://lists.mysql.com/eventum-devel (Eventum developers)
