OMP Landscape is an interactive directory that maps open source projects in the mainframe ecosystem, modeled after the CNCF Landscape and built from data files that feed into a landscape visualization tool.
The tool solves the problem of discovering and understanding the landscape of mainframe-focused open source projects and their ecosystem participants. It aggregates metadata about projects including GitHub activity metrics, funding information, contributor counts, and project timelines in a single browsable interface. The landscape is generated from a YAML data file that describes projects, categories, and member companies, processed by the landscape2 rendering engine to produce an interactive web-based map.
Developers and organizations evaluating mainframe open source adoption should use this tool to survey available projects and understand the ecosystem structure. It suits anyone researching mainframe-specific solutions or wanting to see where a new project might fit within existing categories. The landscape accepts new project entries that are open source, hosted on GitHub, and meet category-specific criteria; projects must have a logo with the project name included. Corrections to project data can be submitted via pull requests, though Open Mainframe Project member and project entries are automatically synchronized nightly from the Linux Foundation's LFX tools and cannot be manually edited in this repository.
The project maintains active synchronization with upstream data sources, pulling Open Mainframe Project member and project information nightly from LFX systems to keep organizational data current. The repository accepts community contributions for new project entries and data corrections through pull requests, with a clear submission process documented in the README. The tool delegates rendering and core landscape functionality to the separate landscape2 project, keeping this repository focused on data curation and ecosystem documentation.
