Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

DAO votes to join Blender Development Fund as Patron member
I have spent some time learning about DAOs and this is what I understood. Please correct me if there is a mistake.
Coined as Decentralized autonomous organization, they are decentralized applications whose main function is to handle fund disbursement. They work more or less as any other treasury but in a more transparent and automated way.
What further separates them from the traditional treasury is that they are essentially a piece of code that runs on blockchain networks, like Ethereum, Cardano, Solana etc. It makes DAOs a lot different from traditional organisations and businesses from an economic and regulation sense.
Let’s take an example DAO and how it operates. There is no defined template of a DAO yet so I’ll use this open source code written in solidity as an example https://github.com/blockchainsllc/DAO/blob/develop/DAO.sol
This can be called a decentralized application or a smart contract. It defines an Interface which can be used to instantiate a DAO contract. The first few constants define the regulatory parameters. The most interesting part is the proposal array. It holds all the proposals submitted by the proposal creator that specifies an amount which is to be paid to the proposal recipient if it gets approved. Approval is done by DAO stakeholder by casting votes.
From a freelancer’s perspective this can be a bidding platform where gig workers can place their proposals and get paid once the work is done. A very transparent and seamless experience as compared to existing freelance marketplaces.

O3DE
It's odd to me that when the whole Unity fiasco happened, everyone was basically looking at either Godot or Unreal, but pretty much nobody mentioned or cared for something like O3DE.
If you praise Godot for being open source a lot, then it stands to reason that you should similarly prefer O3DE as opposed to Unreal: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/blob/development/LICENSE.txt (no idea why they're going for both Apache 2 and MIT license, though) vs https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/license
Unless people just care about the options that are popular enough to warrant their attention and the features that they provide, whereas the licensing is actually a boon, rather than the main factor, given that Unreal also did some slight price increases a while later as well: https://www.unreal-university.blog/post/unreal-engine-5-pric...
Either way, it's still nice to have lots of options available regardless of the licensing details (though this kind of does fragment developers among bunches of different projects), be it Godot, O3DE, Stride, Unreal or even something like jMonkeyEngine (one of the rare Java engines/editors with 3D) or NeoAxis (that one had a cool voxel LOD solution, but performance on AMD hardware was bad).

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games. There seems to be a lot of tutorials on the site, but they aren't laid out great.
