The OpenPOWER Foundation is built by its community. Whether you're designing silicon, writing firmware, running AI workloads, or doing architecture research — there's a real place for you here.
Choose the path that best fits your interests and expertise.
Working groups are where the technical work of the foundation happens. From hardware bringup to AI acceleration, our TWGs, SIGs, and BoFs welcome new contributors at all levels.
Browse working groups →The OpenPOWER Foundation hosts open source projects on GitHub and GitLab — from ISA tooling and compliance test suites to firmware and reference designs. You can also submit formal ISA proposals through the ISA TWG's RFC process.
View on GitHub →OpenPOWER Foundation, POWER Commons, and LibrePOWER are collaborating to bring the A2O core — a commercial-grade open source out-of-order processor — to full POWER ISA compliance. Whether you're a hardware engineer, RTL developer, or verification specialist, there's real silicon work to do.
OpenPOWER events bring together hardware developers, researchers, and industry leaders. Attend a summit, submit a talk, or host a workshop to share your work with the community.
See upcoming events →Share your technical work, research findings, or community news with the OpenPOWER community. Guest blog posts from members and contributors are welcome and encouraged.
Contact us to contribute →The OpenPOWER HUB at Oregon State University provides POWER compute resources to foundation members — for development, benchmarking, and research. No need to own your own POWER hardware to get started.
Learn about the HUB →Membership includes IBM patent coverage for processor designers, ISA governance participation, HUB compute access, and recognition in the global POWER computing community.
View membership tiers →Need to make the case internally for joining or contributing? Our one-page briefings cover every audience — from sovereign AI programs to chip designers to research institutions.
View pitch briefings →The OpenPOWER Foundation forum is an open space for technical discussion, questions, and announcements. No membership required — anyone in the community can participate.
