Sharing our innovations and building on the work of others

We create

We open source some of our proprietary data science tools to help others discover value in the world’s data too.

We contribute

We partner with other organizations that support and maintain a healthy open source ecosystem.

Our engineering teams have made major code contributions to projects we believe are important, including Jupyter, pandas, Apache Arrow, Apache Parquet, Bazel and Git.

We curate

Beyond contributing code, our teams provide broader support, from improving documentation, to answering open questions and hosting Meetups.

Open source is integral to our culture

Our community of scientists understands the role that open source can have on innovation.

Getting together

We value unique perspectives, and our developers regularly come together at company-sponsored Hack Days and Meetups.

Sharing our ideas

We are learners and teachers, our engineers present project findings and new developments at major conferences.

Supporting the community

We believe in collaboration, and our connection to the open source community is important to us. We are a Gold Sponsor of NumFOCUS and our employees sit on the boards of several major projects.

We are voracious users of open source. You simply can't be a real company without being part of the landscape and community of open source."

Apache Spark has become the standard for dealing with big-data workloads, and we think it promises data scientists huge potential for analysis of large time series. We have developed Flint to enhance Spark’s functionality for time series analysis. Flint is an open source library and available via Maven and PyPI.
