Google and the Open Source Developer
Recognizing the vital role that open source software plays at Google, the Open Source Programs Office is tasked with maintaining a healthy relationship with the open source software development community.
We do this by releasing Google-created code, supporting open source organizations, handling internal open source compliance, and by running student outreach programs such as Google Summer of Code and Google Code-in. Explore the different ways we serve the open source community through these sites:
