OpenCutList started with its first commit on GitHub on December 3, 2016. The idea was first announced on the French site L'Air du Bois:
Boris was a game programmer in another life. He switched to furniture design and making more than 10 years ago. His professional website is .
Shortly after he began his career as a furniture designer, he also initiated and programmed the website , a French collaborative woodworking platform.
Boris is the creator and main developer of OpenCutList.
Martin's background is in system and network administration. A graduate from the University of New Mexico in Computer Science (though it was quite some time ago), he likes algorithms and data science. He is currently working part-time on the project, as a scientific assistant.
He is the main developer of the cutting diagram algorithms and manages the translator team.
The core team takes care of the French, German and English versions. The versions in other languages are contributed by volunteers. These contributions are invaluable, as automated translation of specialized software like OpenCutList would be ineffective!
The development and support of OpenCutList requires a lot of time from us developers, as we strive to provide a very qualitative product and want it to continue evolving.
To give OpenCutList users the opportunity to show their appreciation by supporting financially the project, we have created a collective on .
Financial goals for the funding (and development!) of the next version are periodically set, and it usually takes 1 or 2 months from the call for financing to the delivery of the release (see also ).
