My company primarily used Assembla for <span class="caps">SVN</span>/Trac, but we&#8217;ve found some of the other tools useful. However, as it stood our repos were quoted at $43 a month by your migration tool and we were able to find a reputable competitor who can provide our <span class="caps">SVN</span>/Trac hosting for $99 a <strong>year</strong>. As a small business we can&#8217;t ignore that amount of savings. If you had provided a flat-rate option with limited repos (_{20), limited monthly bandwidth, limited number of users (}10), a limited amount of storage (maybe 5GB), and the option to buy more repos, users, and storage as we needed, we could have stayed with Assembla.</p> <p>Thanks for everything and good luck in the future.</p> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 00:08:59 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2503 blusik http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>Yeah, I read the blog afterwards as well which cleared up some other stuff &#8211; maybe link it in future emails.</p> <p>My main concern was people outside the project being able to modify.</p> <p>We&#8217;re open-source, and although it&#8217;s unlikely our code will be stolen, for the price it&#8217;s worth the peace of mind.</p> <p>Upgrading now.</p> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:55:54 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2493 ijed http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>First of all, to clarify things a bit. You will get one invoice per month for all the spaces you are currently paying, don&#8217;t matter if you upgrade them all in one page or from multiple places.</p> <p>If you are the owner of some old private spaces which were not commercial, you can upgrade all at once from this page: <a href="http://www.assembla.com/spaces/migrate">http://www.assembla.com/spaces/migrate</a></p> <p>If you have a public space and you want to upgrade it, you need to go to the space admin tab and click on the upgrade links. You will need to do this once for each space you want to upgrade. However, you will still pay one monthly fee as I said before.</p> <p>Hope this answers your question</p> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:22:57 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:818:2478 sromano http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/818 <p>&#8220;Public&#8221; means that you allow people who are not team members to see your space.

I choose assembla because it was free,had unlimited users and you could make your stuff private for free.</p> <p>Right now I am using assembla for personal projects(that will never make money just for learning) but mostly for school projects such as mrbatu. Thanks to these changes I am screwed since now I have to make all my projects public meaning that now anyone in my class can now go to my project steal all my code and I could get nailed for aiding plagiarism(and they don&#8217;t care if it is accidental plagiarsim) and be kicked out of the school.</p> <p>Alot of people know I used subversion because I am a big promoter of it and this site. I always planned when I get out of school in a year and half and when I start doing contracting work I would buy a subscription to your service since I would be using it for commercial use(since I would have been using this service for like 2 years by then and would likely stick with what I know).</p> <p>Now I get these changes without warning and if I just did not happen go to and delete an old workspace that I was not using to save you guys space I would have never known. I can&#8217;t afford to buy a subscription since I would not only have to buy a subscription for myself but each of my partners for my projects and most of them are just going along with using subversion because they know my programming skills are half decent(oppose to them who can&#8217;t program very well) and that they rather make me happy so I do more of the work. Image now I tell them oh each of you are going have to pay now for this service.</p> <p>If I delete my subversion I loose all my changes and some of my on going projects for school are 15 weeks long that build on each other but as I stated before I now have to delete my accounts because the risk of being accused of plagiarism is just too high.</p> <p>Bottom line I use to think this was the best subversion site around but now with these changes I am going to either just setup my own sever for personal use or try to find a new site that offers some sort of free stuff.</p> <p>In the end you lost a future customer and probably many other customers since I am sure I would be doing alot of projects with other people who would also be paying also for the service and anyone else who I recommend this site too.</p> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:16:31 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2343 chobo2 http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>I&#8217;m a student and I use assembla (mostly svn and trac) to manage my class projects, homework, etc. As far as I know formerly assembla had special offers for such cases. Is there any way I can keep my stuff private as it was till now, for free? In case of positive answer whom should I contact/what should I do? Thanks.</p> Sat, 25 Oct 2008 02:52:05 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2280 mrbatu http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>I agree with the suggestion that the payment should be linked with the disk-space usage rather than per-user basis. In our project we expect the number of users to fluctuate and we do not want to deal with the hassles of accounting and getting sanctions for changed number of users every few months. The charges for disk usage can be increased to compensate. May be even keep a baseline charge for until 200 MB and then increase it based on disk usage after that.</p> <p>Another alternative could be have both charging approaches; let the owners decide what option works for them.</p> Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:16:57 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2252 HemantShah http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>We had a login problem this morning on <a href="http://www.assembla.com">www.assembla.com</a>.

We have a<br />workspace on Assembla, Aktionsakademie to organize an Action-Academy in April next year.</p> <p>We all appreciate that your organisation is supporting open-source<br />projects and is intending to charge commercial organisation a fee for<br />the services. In our case it is different and I wanted to ask you, if we<br />could keep our space private. We are no programmers. We use assembla to<br />organise our academy. The aim of the academy is to help all the<br />participants to deliver the Attac/alterglobalisation message to the<br />people. There will be different workshop so that all participants are<br />able to improve their practical and technical skills. There will also be<br />workshops on the topic of civil disobedience, which is the main point<br />why we want to keep our space private. Police surveillance and<br />oppression is rising all over the world and of course also in Austria.<br />Not to create a false impression: Attac is a nonviolent organisation,<br />but our topics are often frowned upon by the government.</p> <p>I hope you understand our position and that you let us keep our private<br />workspace free of charge.</p> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:06:33 -0000 forum.assembla.com:7:709:2208 diesissi http://forum.assembla.com/forums/7/topics/709 <p>Guess that means we&#8217;re moving somewhere too, which is sad since I&#8217;m beginning to like Assembla.
