The way forward is Open

Open source software is freely available to use, lovingly made by people all over the world, and at the heart of DigitalOcean's business.

DigitalOcean and Open Source

At DigitalOcean, we help open source projects thrive by participating in events and hosting our own—including Hacktoberfest, one of the most popular open source events online. We're always expanding our library of resources for open source coders, too, to encourage everyone to contribute to the wider open source community.
