Learn more about what the IBM Power team is doing with OpenSource.
The IBM Power team is excited to introduce Open Source Edge for IBM Power, an evolution of our previous tool, the Open Source Power Availability Tool (OSPAT) for finding open source packages for Power. While OSPAT provided a snapshot of available packages that are updated periodically, Open Source Edge takes things further by offering more details, more currency, real-time data access, and interactive features to help you explore the open source resources that are available on Power.
Open Source Edge offers all Power developers and users a central location to keep on top of the latest packages and their versions available for Linux on Power. While designing solutions, it is often critical to compose a solution with a variety of components, and in the software world, those components and their versions change rapidly. Also, with an increasingly turbulent security environment, understanding not just which versions are available, but the composition of those individual components, the individual security profile of each component, and having transparency into the build process and environment becomes increasingly critical.
