General development

The development of Heptapod has been and still is sponsored by several organizations.

The whole Heptapod project started at Octobus. We have put proportionally a tremendous amount of resources in this project, because we firmly believe such tooling to be vital for the future of Mercurial.

Octobus provides commercial support for Mercurial. Our team of experts has an extensive experience with Mercurial and can help you with any aspect of its usages. Octobus was founded by Pierre-Yves David, one of the major contributors to Mercurial. Since 2010, we have landed thousands of changesets, fixed hundreds of bugs and brought major upgrades to it.

For more than 20 years, Logilab has been developing innovative free software for the web and scientific applications - fostering knowledge improvements and sharing it through its R&D and training programs.

Logilab has been instrumental in the adoption of the Python language amongst French scientists, and trains each year hundreds of engineers and researchers in that language. Logilab has been pioneering the realm of large scale semantic web applications, in particular with the data.bnf.fr project in 2010 for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

A strong supporter and contributor of Free Software (Pylint started there, as well as Mercurial phases), Logilab has also sponsored many non-profits and helped to organize many events and meetups related to free software.

Creator of custom-made software.

Software distribution

Heptapod source packages and binary downloads are provided by the fosshost.org mirroring service.

The Fosshost project is a non-profit organisation that exists to serve the hosting needs of the global open source community.

We're on a mission to empower and support every free and open source software project. To go further, together. Our work never stops.

FOSS public instance

Main application

The public FOSS Heptapod instance is primarily set up and supported by Clever Cloud and Octobus.

Clever Cloud is a Europe-based PaaS company. We help developers deploy and run their apps with bulletproof infrastructure, automatic scaling, fair pricing and other cool features. We aim to make an easy-to-use service, without any vendor lock-in and able to grow with your needs.

Continuous integration

On the public FOSS instance, we are leveraging resources provided by the following organizations:

The OSU Open Source Lab is a nonprofit organization working for the advancement of open source technologies.

The lab, in partnership with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University, provides hosting for more than 160 projects, including those of worldwide leaders like the Apache Software Foundation, the Linux Foundation and Drupal. Together, the OSL’s hosted sites deliver nearly 430 terabytes of information to people around the world every month. The most active organization of its kind, the OSL offers world-class hosting services, professional software development and on-the-ground training for promising students interested in open source management and programming.

The Heptapod project is a member of the OVHcloud startup program, which provides us with server resources.

Among other things, we use OVH public cloud instances for continuous integration on foss.heptapod.net, mostly for the needs of Heptapod itself. Thanks to this, our heavy builds and test runs have no impact on other projects hosted on foss.heptapod.net.

The Open Source Community Infrastructure provides infrastructure and services for open source communities and projects connected with the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) within Red Hat (formerly known as OSAS, Open Source and Standards).

To work with us, join one of the many communities we participate in directly. We participate in, and contribute to opensourceinfra.org to share our work ranging from content to best practices.
