Today Open Source software is everywhere: from your DSL modem to your computer’s motherboard (e.g. Asus Express Gate). This trend is growing every year.

Open Source operating systems, like Debian, have become a real alternative to Microsoft Windows. This feat has been achieved by more than 1000 developers working over a 10 year period, all on their free time. And it is available for everyone, free of charge.

But managing Open Source systems is a skill. It is hard to enter the world of Open Source without prior knowledge of it, because it involves more than a short term participation in a community. Becoming a part of this world is a long term project.

OCamlCore is active in the Open Source community and can help you interact in it.

Typical projects where OCamlCore employees help or are the core team, include:

• OCamlCore.org, where we give back to the OCaml Community:
  • planet
  • forge
• OCaml projects like:
  • ocaml-fileutils
  • ocaml-gettext
  • OASIS and OASIS-DB
  • OUnit
  • ocaml-lua
  • ExtUnix
  • Cryptokit
  • OCaml MPI
  • Spamoracle
  • ocsoap
  • OCaml Windows Installer
• Debian, through OCaml packaging

OCamlCore also sponsors the yearly OCaml Meeting ([1], [2]). This is a meeting of OCaml users in France.

I think the work you’ve done in organising OCamlCore.org is very admirable!, Arlen Cuss, 2010-10-12
