Through this website, we will continue, unify, and expand NASA’s open source activities. The site will serve to surface existing projects, provide a forum for discussing projects and processes, and guide internal and external groups in open development, release, and contribution. In our initial release, we are focusing on providing a home for the current state of open source at the Agency.

Although written by an attorney, this post is not legal advice or analysis and should not be taken as such. NASA has a special association with the principles of openness and transparency characteristic of the open source software movement.
