IBM has been doing more lately with open source, but not really to a level that matches the endeavors of others. OpenPOWER may be gathering some real momentum, though, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we start hearing more about it in the future.

As for Mono itself, this particular implementation isn't an IBM project, and when I personally discussed the matter with them some ten or so years ago they said they had discussed it internally but had no particular desire to pursue it at the time. They gave me some good reasons for this but I don't remember the details.
