Want to grow your OCaml connections and expertise while supporting a pillar of the ecosystem? Then join us as an opam-repository maintainer by commenting on this issue!


The opam-repository is the official store of package descriptions for the extended OCaml ecosystem. It serves more than 4400 packages thru the opam package manager and index, and it is approaching 200 new packages and releases per month. The opam system is unique among widely used programming language packaging systems in offering the following:

  • It supports system dependencies to abstract over the packaging complexities of most commonly used platforms.
  • It is tested by an extensive CI matrix to ensure packages are working, installable, and interoperable.
  • It is curated to cultivate an ecosystem of high quality, useful packages.

This all takes a lot of work and it presents a wide field of interesting socio-technical problems and exciting opportunities.
