Rédigé par iTop by Combodo | Oct 7, 2025, 3:33:22 PM

Let’s celebrate open source together!

Brand news!
iTop is taking part in Hacktoberfest 2025, a month-long celebration of open-source projets, which started on October 1.

Developers from all over the world are encouraged and rewarded for contributing to open source projects like iTop, our open-source ITSM and CMDB solution.
In this friendly event, maintainers are also invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they’ve just discovered.

It is open to EVERYONE and no contribution is too small — bug fixes, translations and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.

How to contribute?

iTop open projects

We have open several repositories for you to contribute.

  • iTop main repository is open for PRs, especially for translations, documentation suggestions, but also for code improvements.
