Open Pool is a shared maintenance community operated by knowmad mood. We handle security patching, dependency updates, and vulnerability fixes for your enterprise extensions — so your team can focus on what matters.
Contributors keep ownership of their code but grant the community broad permissions to use, modify, and redistribute within the project's scope.
Enterprise teams maintain extensive collections of extensions, scripts, and integrations that support their development workflows. These custom components require continuous security patching, dependency updates, and vulnerability fixes — work that pulls engineers away from core product development.
Choose how your components are maintained based on confidentiality requirements and cost preferences. Both paths include SLA-backed support and professional oversight from knowmad mood.
Donate generic extensions to the community. Maintenance costs are shared across all members interested in that solution, driving standardization and reducing individual burden.
Keep proprietary integrations or confidential code in private projects. Accessible only to you and knowmad mood maintenance staff — ideal for home-grown systems.
SLA-backed CVE response times. Critical vulnerabilities (CVSS ≥9) fixed within 1 week. High-severity (CVSS 8–9) within 3 weeks. Lower severity and pre-existing CVEs are addressed within consulting hours, no fixed SLA. Continuous scanning with partner tooling detects issues early.
Keep your components current with the latest stable versions of libraries and frameworks. Proactive updates reduce technical debt and security exposure.
Included monthly hours for vulnerability fixes, bug fixing, and assisted troubleshooting. Hours scale with your tier: 12h (Tier 1), 22h (Tier 2), or 32h (Tier 3). Additional credits available for purchase.
When issues arise, our team responds. Incident handling is included within your tier's scope, with escalation paths to knowmad mood's deep engineering expertise.
CVE response SLAs you can rely on. Critical issues fixed within 1 week, documented.
