Open Source Tokyo

A directory of companies, people, and projects that are Open Source and from Tokyo

Background

Why is there a list combining a licensing model with a geographical location?

Generally, we've found that the Open Source community is just that - a community. People who contribute to open source code often do so because they know other contributors personally, they use each other's code, or they met someone at an event who pointed them to something. You'll find that a lot of open source projects are city specific - frequent attenders of meetups tend to hear about the same projects, learn about the same companies doing open source, and contribute in the same way.

We want to build a list where we can see and learn about each other's code, just a bit easier, in the open.

Projects

These projects have been developed mainly in Tokyo, or by people from there.

Find meetups

In Japan, we use Atend, connpass, Meetup and Tech Play to find meetups. Unfortunately, these are written in Japanese 🇯🇵 (except for Meetup), but you can use them with Google Translator.

Find coworking spaces

In Japan, there are a lot of coworking spaces. If you just want to find wifi and charging, you can find them in Starbucks or there is website called Dengen Cafe. It maintains a list of cafes which have wifi and charging. Unfortunately, it is written in Japanese 🇯🇵 but you can use them with Google Translator.

  • FabCafe - cafe for coworking. You can use 3D printer.
