Introduction At Visma we truly believe that when creating the technology that will shape our future we are #bettertogether. That is why we as a company and our employees are happy to be part of the open source community. For us being part of the community means that we support and contribute a wide variety of open source projects, and actively participate in projects that we utilize to build our products and services. For our employees we encourage all to contribute to any open source project they like in any way they like regardless of their role or competence, developers may contribute with code, QAs with testing, tech-writers with documentation. On this page you will find information about many of the projects we are contributing to both as a company and individuals that are part of the Visma family.

Meet our open source enthusiasts Alex - Cloud software specialist and chess player Alexander works as a Chief Cloud Architect in Visma and is responsible for much of the great technology we provide to our customers, but in addition he’s an active contributor to many different open source projects. Most notably perhaps is the very popular Lichess chess server (lichess.org). Get to know Alexander in the video below.

Visma recently created a Developer Portal in order to highlight some of our best APIs across the company. Visma is a very distributed company, so a hub and spoke model often is a good solution.
OSS in Visma can not be a heavily centrally managed initiative. The goal is only to provide support when needed.
We want to have an OSS Portal of some kind to highlight different OSS projects in Visma, contributions made by Visma employees, and content that will be interesting to members of the OSS community as a whole.
Whatever solution we come up with, we need to align it with the Developer Portal.
