Open Source Software Library

Mattermost is an open-source, self-hostable online chat service with file sharing, search, and integrations. Designed as an alternative to Slack, it was founded by a Canadian-led team and is widely used by enterprises and governments for secure communications.

Lagoon is an open-source application delivery platform built for Kubernetes and Docker. It automates DevOps workflows, enabling teams to define their entire infrastructure as code. Developed by amazee.io with strong Canadian roots.

CanAssist at the University of Victoria develops open-source assistive technology tools and custom software for people with disabilities. Their free toolbox includes communication aids, alternative input interfaces, and educational software freely available to Canadians.

SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system. The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), a consortium of Canadian universities, provides infrastructure and hosting for SageMath and has been a key institutional backer of open mathematical software in Canada.

BC Sans (2.0) is an open-source "living" typeface developed for government to improve the readability and delivery of digital services. It was designed to support special characters and syllabics found in Indigenous Languages in B.C.

The B.C. Design System gives design and software development teams the building blocks to deliver intuitive, accessible digital services.

The Digital Marketplace is a web application that administers British Columbia's Code With Us and Sprint With Us procurement programs. It enables (1) public sector employees to create and publish procurement opportunities, and (2) vendors to submit proposals to these opportunities.

Aries Verifiable Credentials Registry (VCR), part of the Hyperledger Aries family of Digital Trust technologies, provides a searchable public directory based on Verifiable Credentials (VCs). It was historically known as both OrgBook (which is actually a deployment of Aries VCR) and Indy Catalyst. Aries VCR is actively developed by the British Columbia Government’s Digital Trust Team in Canada, and the most well-known live example is OrgBook BC. In an instance of Aries VCR, credentials can be issued from a variety of authorities about subjects in the instance. A core set of credentials are issued by an authority responsible for “creating” the subject. Other credentials can then be issued against the subject of these core credentials. All credentials are stored in a secure digital wallet and accessed via its website or the public API. This means an instance of Aries VCR can be an authoritative public registry of any referenceable information.

An Open511 validator and converter

Users interact with D‑Wave quantum computers through a web user interface (UI), and through open-source tools that communicate with the Solver API (SAPI). The SAPI components are responsible for user interaction, user authentication, and work scheduling. In turn, SAPI connects to back-end servers that send problems to and return results from QPUs and additional solvers, which are located in different geographical regions (for example, North America or Europe).[1]

Shared API for binary quadratic models and samplers in D-Wave Ocean.

dwave-system is an API for easily incorporating D-Wave quantum computers as a sampler in the Ocean software stack, directly or through the Leap service’s cloud-based hybrid solvers. It includes DWaveSampler, a dimod sampler that accepts and passes system parameters such as system identification and authentication down the stack, StrideHybridSolver, for Leap’s Stride™ hybrid solver, and others. It also includes several useful composites—layers of pre- and post-processing—that can be used with DWaveSampler to handle minor-embedding, optimize chain strength, etc.

minorminer is a heuristic tool for minor embedding: given a minor and target graph, it tries to find a mapping that embeds the minor into the target.

Client library for accessing D-Wave cloud solvers.

Hybrid asynchronous decomposition framework for quantum-classical workflows.

NetworkX algorithms and generators for D-Wave optimization examples.

Constraint satisfaction tooling for converting CSPs to binary quadratic models.
