    Grow Open Source (by gitcoinco)

  • it also pointed me to gitcoin which seems interesting.

  • vello

    An experimental GPU compute-centric 2D renderer.

  • too true lol. for some reason the only person in the world who seems to be taking this seriously is the piet-gpu guy and he’s had to invent some innovate techniques for gpu processing of tree-shaped data to get as far as he has.

  • InfluxDB

  • filmulator-gui

    Filmulator --- Simplified raw editing with the power of film

  • wg-securing-critical-projects

    Helping allocate resources to secure the critical open source projects we all depend on.

  • It's security-specific, but I appreciate that in the wake of Heartbleed, the industry really did take things seriously, from the Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative (now OpenSSF's Securing Critical Projects Working Group) to Project Zero, the latter of which is still quite active testing everything from Windows filesystem "filter drivers" to Apple's ImageIO library to old versions of Acroread to GhostScript sandboxing.
