title: About
|
|
---
|
|
InvenTree is an open-source inventory management system which provides intuitive parts management and stock control.
|
|
It is at the center of an ecosystem of addins for EDA tools, API wrapper, deeply integrated plugins and 3rd party tools.
|
|
|
|
### Open Source
|
|
We are open source all the way. Webserver, Docs, App and Website are MIT licensed. Please check the [source directory](source) if you want to look at the source code.
|
|
|
|
### Open governance
|
|
The roadmap for InvenTree is created by the [contributors](team). There is no solid roadmap but the team has general areas of intrest and [milestones](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/milestones) to provide an outlook to what is to come. As this project is done in spare/free time there is no set release timeline.
|
|
|
|
Big ticket iteams that have the intrest of the maintainer or a dedicated dev get the label `roadmap` - those projects are likely to be worked on in the assigned milestones. [Take a peak](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aroadmap)

|
### Goals
|
|
|
|
The **main goal** is to keep existing instances **stable** and provide a transparent way to migrate to newer versions - no matter how old the install. This does not absolve the deployers from reading the changelogs!
|
|
|
|
We are also actively working on:
|
|
- **raising the profile** of InvenTree to get a wider developer base
|
|
- supporting **translation** into every wanted language - [learn more]({% link contribute/index.md %})
|
|
- creating [integrations]({% link extend/plugin/index.md %}) into other business and EE-systems via the **plugin system**
|
|
|
|
### But why?
|
|
InvenTree is beeing build and maintained by **users of the systems**. The core-team uses InvenTree in their **companies**, **labs** and organisations to make their life easier.
|
|
This and a general intrest in 'computers' motivates and keeps the project running.
|
|
There is no inherent monetary intrest but if you would like to [support the org]({% link contribute/index.md %}) - we apprecicate it.
