Overview

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is an open source technical community within which industry participants may easily contribute to building a vendor-neutral, portable and open specification and runtime that deliver on the promise of containers as a source of application portability backed by a certification program.

Of course, as an open source project, we welcome anyone to get involved in the development community, regardless of membership status. Please visit the Community page for details on technical calls, mailing lists, Github and more.
