Open Source Software Library

Axiom is a free, open-source computer algebra system with a long history. Canadian mathematicians supported through NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council) have contributed significantly to its formal mathematics libraries and documentation.

This project was designed to integrate with Statistic Canada’s The Zone platform. In The Zone, users can create individual workspaces with Kubeflow Notebooks. To persist their work, users can attach volumes to their notebooks. These volumes are not automatically deleted when a notebook is deleted. Users are free to move them or to reuse them. As a result, over time, users tend to amass several unused volumes. These volumes sit on the cloud and result in unnecessary costs. The purpose of this project is to design an automatic system that detects these unused volumes and safely removes them, reducing unnecessary expenditure. Despite being primarily designed for Statistics Canada, this project strongly values open-source practices. The codebase is available for public use and the entire development process is documented on the issues page. The volume cleaner was designed to have as little coupling as possible so it can easily integrate into projects outside Statistics Canada. Using open-source and being open-source was an important development philosophy.

Jupyter Book is an open-source tool for building publication-quality books and documents from computational material. Jupyter Book allows users to write their content in Markdown files or Jupyter notebooks, include computational elements (e.g., code cells) in either type, include rich syntax such as citations, cross-references, and numbered equations, and using a simple command, run the embedded code cells, cache the outputs and convert this content into: a web-based interactive book and a publication-quality PDF.

Notification Documentation is an open-source project or repository maintained by Canadian Digital Service in Canada.

Tools and policy checks that help Government of Canada teams evaluate IBM Cloud deployments against common cloud guardrails. It is useful for repeatable compliance reviews, documentation of security expectations, and sharing implementation patterns across departments.

Open Policy Agent guidance and configuration examples for checking Google Cloud Platform services against Government of Canada cloud guardrails. The repository documents recommended settings and gives teams a reusable starting point for compliant GCP deployments.
