The home of IBM generated innovation
IBMers are building innovative new open source projects right now! Choose from cloud, analytics, blockchain, IoT — whatever your area of interest, we have the code for you.
Join a thriving community
Dynamic communities are the cornerstone of open source development. IBM puts its time and resources into communities that support high-impact open source projects. Join us!
The IBM open source way
Best practices for training, tooling, automation, and more. We do open source with unmatched scope. Find out how we do it, and how you can too.
IBM and Google team up to tackle developer security challenges
You need to understand if your software is vulnerable, complaint with your processes and regulations, and secure. And you need to know what is running right now, where it is running, and to be able to control when it changes.
Combining these two realities requires new tools and techniques. This is why we are joining forces with Google to create and open source the Grafeas project, with the goal to offer a central, structured knowledge base of the critical metadata you need to govern your software supply chain.

“IBM contributing to open source Technology, and Hyperledger in particular, is great to experience. Being in control and getting access to supporting documentation is very important for our developers moving forward solving errors.”
Tim Blankers – Blockchain Engineer, ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
Meet Maureen (Moe) Kraft, IBM Accessibility
A large part of my career has been to ensure persons of all abilities have access to Information Communication Technology (ICT). It’s a simple human right; however, it’s a very important one.
Today, we are taking a closer look at what we can do to provide the open community with the open standards, toolkits, samples, and platforms that ensure that everyone can participate and leverage an ecosystem of accessible solutions that provides access to ICT for all. It is so essential that accessibility remain open. With open source, IBM wants to ensure that accessible technology is not only easier to use, but is more available to designers and developers.

Consuming open source at scale – meet the Watson Workspace team
Beyond making things better for our end-users, Watson Workspace has redefined how we build, test and deliver software in IBM. We started from the premise that the cloud-first principles which revolutionized the consumer software market can and should apply just as well when building enterprise collaboration tools: Horizontal scalability to support millions of users, true continuous delivery with builds deployed to production within hours of code being committed, security at the foundation of everything we do and a delivery model where every step of the process, from testing to deployment is automated.
Our automated process clears over 90% of our open source with no human intervention required.

“I am so proud to be a part of the diverse community that came together to help birth Hyperledger’s first 1.0 project: Hyperledger Fabric 1.0. Of course, it doesn’t end here. There’s plenty more work to be done, more collaboration and more innovation on tap from all of the Hyperledger projects.”
Chris Ferris, Chair of Hyperledger’s Technical Steering Committee, CTO of Open Technology, IBM
“As a Developer Advocate for IBM, I am proud of our commitment to open-source tools for API developers. By helping to establish the Open API Initiative, and through supporting the LoopBack framework and open-source serverless technologies such as Cloud Functions, IBM helps developers create and support robust and enterprise-scale APIs.”
Erin McKean, Developer Advocate, IBM
“The Apache Software Foundation has been a recognized leader in open source for over 18 years. Our 180+ projects serve as the backbone for some of the world’s most visible and widely used applications in Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, Big Data, Cloud Computing, DevOps, IoT and Edge Computing, Mobile, Servers, and Web Frameworks, among other categories. We are deeply committed to remaining a trusted community for dependable Open Source software for years to come, and welcome your participation and support.”
