Open source projects from IBM
IBM innovation is at your fingertips. We’re unleashing new, organic open source projects, direct from our coders to you.
We’ve unlocked IBM-generated innovations from our developers and software labs. Code, docs, supporting materials–they’re all here for you to use and build on. Access the code, join the innovation, and together we’ll take these emerging open source projects to new heights!
Meet Lev Bishop from IBM Research
Lev Bishop is a theoretical physicist who’s interested in all aspects of quantum computing. He works closely with the IBM Quantum experimental team to make sure that the hardware they develop is practical for running useful algorithms. He also makes sure that the theorists stay grounded — they need to work with what is currently experimentally realizable!
Lev played a major role in producing the Quantum Experience’s first developer access point, the QISKit SDK.
Meet Maryam Ashoori, Manager of UX and Design, creator of TJBot, known as “IBM cool things czar”
I’m a Research Staff Member and manager of User Experience and Design at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. I’m also known as IBM’s “cool things” czar because of my passion for exploring the intersection between art and computer science.
My work focuses on developing next-generation human-machine interfaces to enable symbiotic relationships between people and cognitive systems.
We are pleased to announce our new open source project, Jupyter Enterprise Gateway!
Enterprise Gateway is a lightweight, multi-tenant, scalable, and secure gateway that enables Jupyter Notebooks to share resources across an Apache Spark cluster. Built on the Jupyter Kernel Gateway (JKG), the new Enterprise Gateway extends JKG’s headless web server functionality for interacting with notebook kernels and introduces new enterprise-level capabilities.
Meet the graduates
Meet a few of the blockbuster innovations that started as IBM open source projects and then went on to take the open technology community by storm. Innovation starts here!
Featured open source projects
QISKit API
The lightweight QISKit API is a thin Python wrapper around the Quantum Experience HTTP API that enables you to connect and execute OPENQASM code.
TJBot programmable robot
TJBot is a do-it-yourself kit that enables you to build a programmable cardboard robot powered by IBM Watson. It is part of the IBM Watson Maker Kits, a collection of DIY open source templates to connect to Watson services in a fun way.

As one of the Hyperledger Fabric Maintainers, one of the questions I am often asked is “What is the roadmap for Hyperledger Fabric development?”. My response is to point people to the Hyperledger Fabric wiki, because for the most part, we are pretty transparent about plans for our next release. Beyond that, things are a little...

There is a good amount of documentation material out there on the Kubernetes community website which every contributor should read. However, if you are a new or intermediate contributor, or thinking to start contributing to Kubernetes upstream, hopefully, this post will help you understand some of the lessons that I have learned. This post discusses...
