The discussion about being open source has been extensively debated. In order to change the economics of open source, we believe you need to do things differently. At the moment we are not open source because we need to get the project off the ground. We believe that in order to grow to a suitable level where we can talk about becoming open source, we need to have the control and swiftness of a proprietary startup to be able to first establish a marketplace that proves this new business model. Please note that we are all for becoming open source in the future.

Assuming OpenTeams is built on Django/Flask (based on the large number of Python projects), it would also be cool just to submit code/doc improvements or support back to those projects.

With the founders heavily involved in open source, the notion of giving back is one of the OpenTeam's core values.

Thank you for your suggestion. We could not agree more with you!

Hi there, I'm part of OpenTeams. Members of our team are contributors and maintainers of several projects within the scientific python community. Our goal is not just to contribute funding, but to also contribute time/code. As we grow, we'll do our best to be part of many more projects.
