Taking a successful software project and transitioning to open source is not easy. While many of us in the WebSphere development team have been regular contributors to open source projects this is a massive shift in how we do things and our development culture. We will be learning as we go, with the support of experienced open source developers in IBM, as well as the wider open source community. In the spirit of openness, we will share what we learn as we go. We know that there will be times when we will get things wrong, but we think Liberty is the best and most flexible runtime for Java microservices and are delighted to be open sourcing it today. If you are coming to JavaOne please come to the IBM booth to talk to us, or come to my session on Monday at 5:30pm in Moscone West, Room 2006. We invite anyone who wants to make it even better to get involved to help us make the Open Liberty project a success as well.
