Open Source is the only path forward for IBM i platform survival.

I take it that does *not* mean, IBM i source is released to people can
make changes themselves?


IBM i source is not released, though they should do so :)

But the days of IBM and ISVs authoring every detail of our development and
operational environment are over and gone!

Open source is the path forward, and for us in the field, the path to
platform survival.

The new features we code to meet management directives we are doing in
Python and Node.js.

The source RPMs for what IBM distributes for PASE are available at
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo/src/ ...
there's a command modifier in yum to grab the source also when you install
a pkg.

I have modified open source myself. I originally ported mc for instance and
that ended up in the IBM repo with mods from IBM's team. Also I have one or
two in my own repo http://the-i-doctor.com/oss/repo/ppc64
