Community-Driven Innovation

Open Source Contributions

Building the future of enterprise technology through transparent collaboration. With 500+ open source projects and 1000+ contributors worldwide, Scidecs empowers the global developer community to innovate faster and more openly.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Open by Default, Secure by Design

Scidecs believes that the most impactful enterprise technology is built in the open. Our open source program office (OSPO) coordinates contributions across frameworks, developer tooling, and infrastructure projects, ensuring every line of code we share strengthens the ecosystem while meeting enterprise-grade quality standards.

Core Framework Contributions

Enterprise teams frequently rely on open source frameworks without contributing back, creating fragile dependencies and missing the opportunity to shape upstream roadmaps.

Scidecs maintains dedicated maintainer teams for 50+ critical open source projects, submitting 200+ upstream contributions annually that improve stability, security, and performance for the entire community.

Developer Tools & Libraries

Developers waste countless hours building repetitive tooling and boilerplate code, diverting energy from solving core business problems and slowing enterprise delivery cycles.

Our open source developer tools and reusable libraries eliminate boilerplate and accelerate delivery, saving teams an average of 40% development time on new projects.

Community Building

Many corporate open source efforts lack genuine community engagement, resulting in abandoned projects, low adoption rates, and missed opportunities for collaborative innovation.

Our dedicated community team organizes 100+ meetups annually, mentors 500+ external contributors, and maintains active governance models that ensure long-term project sustainability.
