Legacy Beta shares their ActiveCollab Story

Legacy Beta provides value to customers by creating dynamic, web-enabled apps that are engaging and dynamic. LegacyBeta is a trusted source of industry knowledge with over a decade’s worth of experience. LegacyBeta has worked with many top 10 Fortune 500 companies and leading US government agencies. In 2007, there wasn’t much choice for a web-based project manager software. ActiveCollab was the only web-based project management software that you could host. ActiveCollab was the only one that allowed me to own the data, rather than renting it from someone else and locking myself in. I was already four years into my career as a web developer and was currently doing contract work. I needed a way of managing basic projects: break down a project into manageable pieces.
Keep track of the progress
Collaborate with others
ActiveCollab was the right tool for me at that time and still is. It was written in PHP and runs on shared hosting. Today, there are many VPS hosts available, so it will run on them. I have been following ActiveCollab since its early days. This was before they launched the A51 company and commercialized the product. The most used feature in ActiveCollab is Tasks. In other tools, they are sometimes called Tickets or Stories. They can be easily assigned to different people, tracked time and commented on. It makes collaboration simple. Sometimes, we will group Tasks under a Milestone. The 4.x version has some subtle differences. When you create a new ticket you can choose who it is assigned to by clicking their name instead of the checkbox. Clicking on the checkbox adds the person to your watch list. This was useful when we needed to add multiple people to a Task. It’s a great place to store all files related to the project. Text Documents under Files is another option we like because it makes it easy to track changes to the document. ActiveCollab’s Files can be used to store different versions of the same document. It acts as a version control system or a basic Wiki for text documents. It can be used to store documents, free up space on your Dropbox or Google Drive, and to keep copies of graphic files you might need later. ActiveCollab is like Github for your graphic files. We are excited to upgrade to the new version. It seems like a significant upgrade in features, and usability. A51 clearly spent a lot time on the UX and has made the core features more user-friendly. We are eager to use the All-in one calendar to keep track of all the upcoming projects.

AWS Introduces Controls to Block Public Access to S3 This week, Amazon Web Services (AWS), introduced a new feature that allows administrators to block public access to their data. This is to reduce the number of data leaks due to mismanaged Amazon S3 buckets. The “Amazon S3 Block Public Access” feature is actually a set of four security settings that administrators can activate or disable across their entire AWS account, or per-bucket basis. Once the settings have been turned on, they will apply to the current environment as well as any future buckets. In a blog post, Jeff Barr, AWS evangelist, stated that you have the ability to block public access to existing items (whether it was specified in an ACL [access control lists] or a policy) as well as to prevent public access to new items. Blocking public access to an AWS account that is used to host a business application or data lake will protect it from accidental public exposure. Our goal is to clarify that web hosting is not allowed to public access. These settings can be accessed via S3 console, command-line interface, or S3 API. Uncategorized
