I've been looking for a long a time for a good PM software that is standalone (personal use) or can be self-hosted (easy setup a must). Cloud hosting is a show-stopper when you're in a large company.

Already heard about Collabtive? Very easy deployment on your own webserver (or via Debian sources), FOSS:

http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/

Disclosure: I'm one of the lead devs.

Did you realize that your demo page for Collabtive does not allow the user to choose their language? It appears to default to Chinese for the user interface.
It's reset to English every hour. I've now reset it manually.

But you're right, the user should be able to select the language on the online demo before login. I will add this to my TODOs. Thx!

One of the burdens that comes with more than 40 locales... ;-)

This is a pretty lightweight self-hosted kanban solution I've made: https://taskfort.com

The ios app should be coming out by the end of this month.

You can try Duet - http://duetapp.com.

It's self hosted and has a super simple setup process. I'm the developer.

We use The Bug Genie[0] with great success. It's a little quirky out of the box, but it is easy to overcome the quirks, because it's so configurable.

Why? I know some very large companies that use GitHub (not the hosted version).

Because lawyers, pointy hair bosses and so on. Someone simply makes a policy somewhere that all company data should reside on company machines, and no other companies' should share servers, server rooms or ops staff with ours. I'm not saying it makes any sense at all, but this actually happens.
I've deployed a local OpenProject instance for a smallteam. But I think it's too much for single use.
