I'm working as part of a volunatry team creating an open source product with a permissive license. We are currently using Visual SVN Server/TortoiseSVN for source control and TeamCity for our continuous integration builds. I would like to add a bug tracking component into the mix that will integrate into SVN. Ideally, I'd like to use FogBugz but we have no budget. So, I need an alternative. The requirements are: Must be free or have a free version supporting at least 20 developers (we're volunteers!) Must integrate with VisualSVN Server Must run on Windows I prefer Microsoft technology (ASP.Net over PHP; SQL Server over MySQL, etc) because we are a Microsoft shop, we have experience with those tools and already have them installed. Must be able to work with a geographically distributed team Must work with Express editions of Visual Studio (the developers don't all have the Pro version so we can't rely on Visual Studio add-ins). I'd like The Community's recommendations, please, for products that meet all of the above requirements. [Clarification: our license is very close (though not word-for-word) to the MIT license.]

Bug Tracking for Windows and SVN

Try InDefero, you can even get the hosted way for free if your project is not that big in size.

JIRA is free for open source projects and will run on Windows. Subversion integration is available and provided through a plugin.

Try Bugzilla.

Is free
I do not know if integrates with SVN... but I suppose the answer is YES.
Runs on Windows - you must set up few components, but it actually runs prety well on IIS, however installation is a bit tricky. Bugzilla is Perl and MySQL. However, as I said I had installed succesfully Bugzilla on Windows 2003. Installation of MySql and Perl does not take a lot of server resources - we had those two on our ASP.NET + MSSQL test server, and no performacne drop had been observed.
Works with distributed team.

Trac: It is not a Microsoft technology but will integrate well into SVN. There are not many free bug tracking software's that are free on Microsoft technology.
