I was some of the "technical support" for Hanscom AFB when they were deploying dotProject and then the fork web2project for web-based project management. They were replacing hundreds of Microsoft Project licenses and projected to save over $200k/year at the time.
As noted in the article, the biggest things for them were being able to review security, fix bugs, and affect the roadmap. While I didn't add their requirements to the core system, I added a number of hooks and interfaces they specifically requested.
For contractual/legal reasons, they had issues around making the fixes themselves or even providing them to me but I received a lot of "highly specific explanations" to issues and approaches on resolving them.
Getting started with Hanscom's team was painful on the contractual side but excellent to work with once things were rolling.
