We occasionally get asked whether we support other Open Source projects and the technology community in general. We're proud to say that we do: SparkLabs make a variety of contributions to Open Source projects in many different categories.

As well as releasing open source projects of our own, we also contribute source code and knowledge to a number of other projects. Below is a list of some of the contributions we have made. Please note that this is a non-exhaustive list: you'll find further discussion and changes in project mailing lists and bug/issue tracking systems.

SparkLabs GitHub

On our GitHub page you can find a variety of projects, tools and examples we make available, as well as many different forks for projects we are actively participating in. In particular:

• Two Factor Authentication Extensions
  
• OpenVPN Configuration Generator
  
• OpenVPN Okta Single Sign On
  

SparkLabs Launchpad PPA

We maintain a Launchpad Personal Package Archive for Open Source projects we make modifications to while awaiting the upstream maintainers to accept patches. Our Launchpad PPA currently contains a modified version of OpenVPN to be used as a server with U2F support.
