Some of the open sourced projects are:
Activity Streams, Agentless System Crawler, Node Application Metrics, i18n4go, Clampify, IBM Design Language Web Animation Components, Object Storage for Bluemix, Mule, Gaian Database, IBM Design Language Mobile Animation Components, Node-RED, IBM Bluemix Mobile Services SDKs, libsecurity, Cognitive Catalyst for Watson etc.
IBM already contributes to 150 open-source projects such as OpenStack and Linux. The source code of the projects is stored on GitHub.
