Docker [introduced the open source Moby project](https://blog.docker.com/2017/04/introducing-the-moby-project/) to further promote collaboration, experimentation, and development of container-based systems in the broader community. Moby is a library of containerized components, a framework for assembling components into a container platform, and tools to build, test, and deploy artifacts. It included a reference assembly, which is the open base for the Docker platform. You can read about the Moby project, the open framework, components, and relationship of Docker to Moby at [mobyproject.org](https://mobyproject.org/). The Moby project lives [here](https://github.com/moby/moby). See [Contribute to the Moby project](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) to learn how to help work on the codebase.
