Open source

Nothing builds trust like open source

Community-governed open source supercharges innovation. The Janssen Project is chartered directly under the Linux Foundation, and Gluu is its lead maintainer.

How the project is put together

  • The Janssen Project is chartered directly under the Linux Foundation
  • Gluu is the lead maintainer of the Janssen Project
  • Janssen distributions include community-governed components such as Keycloak, a CNCF project
  • The Agama ecosystem includes third-party connectors to authentication providers, fraud detection and AI
  • GitHub is home to everything: code, releases, discussions and project management

Governance

The project charter tethers the Janssen Project to a Delaware limited liability company. It defines how Collaborators work together, guided by a Technical Steering Committee. The TSC provides strategic oversight rather than micro-managing code development, and stewards the Janssen Project trademark.

Releases, docs and security

  • Releases

    Janssen releases include source, containers, Linux packages, cloud-native deployment assets, tools and demos. Nightly builds make it easy to try the latest features. Releases ship at least monthly.

  • Documentation

    Janssen docs cover installation, configuration, operation and reference material such as database schema and OpenAPI endpoint definitions.

  • Security

    The project follows the Linux Foundation vulnerability disclosure policy and publishes container scans on ArtifactHub. Identity is about trust — transparency is a security advantage.

  • Agama

    Agama is a domain-specific language and project archive format for orchestrating web authentication journeys. The core stack is developed at Janssen; Agama projects are published by third parties and discoverable through the project.

Recognition and licensing

The Digital Public Goods Alliance, a multi-stakeholder UN-endorsed initiative, has recognized the Janssen Project as a Digital Public Good — external validation that the project is well constructed, governed and maintained.

All source code and binaries published in the Janssen Project are licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
