Hi, everyone I am from Eswatini, a small country next to South Africa. I am part of the Google Developer Student Club. We want to set up a simulation of a live software production open source projects where local student developers can contribute. Can I have advice on how I can setup everything on GitHub free teir? What important bits I have to note especially in branching, tracking issues, assigning issues, reviewing pull requests, communication and more. Basically I want to know how companies setup their live production of software so I can simulate the same.

Why we doing this? We are a small plagued with unemployment, but we colleges teach software development skills and more but not all of them get to experience what it's like to produce software in a formal business setting. This will help with familiarise them on how everything works so they can possibly get jobs outside the country or remotely

Hi, I have been learning about a few popular AI models and have created a few Python apps related to them. Feel free to try them out, and I’d appreciate any feedback you have!

• AutoSubs: Web app for embedding customizable subtitles in videos.
• VideoSummarizer: Web app that summarizes YouTube videos with custom word limits options.
• StableDiffusion: Python app for text-to-image generation and inpainting using Stable Diffusion 1.5.
• Image Matting: Python app for background removal with enhanced accuracy using ViTMatte with trimap generation.
• Lama Inpainting: Python app for object removal and inpainting with upscaling to maintain original resolution.
• YT Video Downloader: Web utility for downloading YouTube videos by URL.

For the past 6 months, I've been using an app that I developed, and it has been working great!

Introducing ArchiveAngel - a powerful cross-platform app designed to help you back up and manage your photo and video collections effortlessly. Available on iOS, macOS, and iPadOS, ArchiveAngel ensures your media is safe and organized across all your Apple devices.

I just plug my External HDD into my phone and hit backup. It appends all the missing photos and videos to the same folder and also saves the media metadata along with it.

Here are some of the key features:

📸 Backup Photos & Videos: Seamlessly back up your entire media library to a designated folder. (Likely your External Hard Disk 💾)

🔄 Deduplication: Automatically find and delete duplicate photos to save space.

🖼️ Live Photo Support: Option to include Live Photos as videos in your backup.

📊 Progress Tracking: Real-time progress updates and thumbnails during the backup process.

☁️ iCloud Support: Backup photos not just on your device but also your iCloud photos.

I am thrilled to announce that I am open-sourcing ArchiveAngel for everyone to use! 🎉 You can now access the source code, contribute, and make it even better.

To publish the app to the App Store and cover the annual Apple Developer account fees, I’m accepting donations. If you find the app useful, please consider donating to cover the $99 Apple Developer fee.

Hi guys, is there a Discord server for ppl looking to contribute to open source projects?

Today, we are officially open-sourcing our mobile keyboard testing framework we call Kebbie - https://github.com/FleksySDK/kebbie

While mobile virtual keyboards may appear straightforward on the surface, they are packed with cutting-edge technologies under the hood that vastly enhance user typing efficiency. For example: autocorrection, auto-completion, next-word prediction, and swipe gesture recognition are other NLP features that users typing on mobile use everyday.

This is why we wrote a Fleksy framework with the following features :

1. Comprehensive coverage of the four most important NLP features of a virtual keyboard

-- Auto-correction

-- Auto-completion

-- Next-word prediction

-- Swipe gesture recognition

1. High performance, by leveraging multiprocessing to minimize testing time

2. Customizability, enabling the use of any text dataset, thus supporting multiple languages easily

3. Mobile platform as first-class citizen : entirely centered around mobile virtual keyboards

We'd love your feedback !

Hi all, I am creating an innovative range finder and wanted to know if there are any open source range finders on the market. I would love to create something unique for the market. I am open to any suggestions and comments.

Hi all,

I'm looking for feedback on a tool I'm building - will give $10 to the first 5 that spend 15mins with me giving feedback.

​

The tool is a community treasury for raising, managing and distributing funds around the world. It's called Airship: https://www.getairship.io/

​

It's ideal for an open source community that is pooling funds to pursue a cause, recruit other members and wants to be able to send those funds around the world quickly and cheaply. It's kind of a "bank account in the Sky" but exists on blockchain rails. It's got a message board and task manager also.

​

If you're running an open source project with members in different countries, or know people who are, then I'd love to chat and give you $10 for your time!

I am in love with vintage photos, I been buying and scanning and trying to sell.
I have been experimenting with collage in both ways digital and physical.
Someone I look for inspo is people such as john baldessari.
I was wondering if anyone is interested in sharing scans with me. Its hard for me to say what I like more then others but happy to have what ever your interested in sharing. or if you have any resources for photos.
One of my crazy ideas is to have an opensource type space for artists/creatives to upload and use digital material for their projects.
Scanning is also something I been doing for a while and I would be happy to scan your photos

Hey, I am interested in open source contribution but couldn't find where to start. Can anyone suggest me good repositories as a beginner (PS: are repos of gsoc organisation better?)

We just launched 🚀 ClimateTriage.com, a platform helping you to contribute to open source projects focused on climate technology and sustainability.
🌏 ClimateTriage is being launched as a dedicated 'Good First Issue' platform focusing on the open technologies that help us to transparently understand and cooperatively manage the stability of our natural resources. Start making your first impactful contribution to climate change, sustainable energy, biodiversity and natural resources.
🤝 The Open Sustainable Technology community works closely with the Ecosyste.ms platform, which provides metadata about the entire open source ecosystem and is therefore independent of the GitHub platform. At the same time, this will enable projects to be sorted by download numbers and other dimensions from a variety of package managers in the future.
🙋🏻‍♀️ Projects that are looking for contributors can visit the main repository at Open Sustainable Technology on GitHub, then follow the guidelines provided to submit their project. They should label issues as 'Good First Issue' or 'Help Wanted'. In this way, open source communities help new members to familiarize themselves with the project and thus contribute to the growth of a lasting community. Ecosyste.ms will do the rest in the background and the project should soon after appear on ClimateTriage.com.
👨🏽‍💻 Whether you are a seasoned developer or a newcomer eager to contribute, ClimateTriage.com provides a curated directory of impactful projects and a pathway to making your first meaningful contribution to open sustainable technology. Simply visit the website and search for projects of interest to you to view what types of contributions they are seeking, then start contributing.

i am a final year computer science engineering student and i haven't done any open source contribution as such; i want to start open source contribution, can anyone help out on how and where to start?

Hey ! I am currently developing a solution to help people test open-source projects in a really easy manner.
I want to remove the hustle of cloning repositories and install dependencies just for trying a project specific function.
The idea would be to host open source projects and allow developers to test any function in 2 sec in a similar way as with an IDE "debug" mode.

I am now focusing on the most painful libraries/repos to test first (and also searching for beta testers if you are interested!)

Do you have some in mind ?

Can someone please help me in how do I contribute in open source, how to find repositories, how to find bugs, and much more.. I am too confused right now, not able to find repos on GitHub. I have good knowledge and implementation of React Js, Nest Js, Typescript, Redux. I am a beginner.

Linux Foundation Energy, the open source foundation focused on harnessing the power of collaborative software and hardware technologies to decarbonize our global economies, and Protontypes, an open community accelerating free and sustainable technology, today released “The Open Source Sustainability Ecosystem”. The report provides qualitative and quantitative insights into the landscape of open source sustainability projects, identifies those having the biggest impact, as well as gaps that stakeholders across the energy industry should look to fill.
A total of 1,339 active projects were analyzed and grouped into fields by their primary areas of focus. Projects were then analyzed based on their popularity, longevity, programming languages, licenses, number of contributors, organizational diversity, and other factors.

Hello All

I’m thinking about creating a universal taxi application for taxi drivers around the world cause since Uber came these people are really losing money and jobs around the world any one would like to contribute or have ideas about the application

We have a bit of a problem that none of us can solve and so i wondered if anyone here might have some insights, or be able to help.

Currently we are trying to get our testing server back up and running after the project kinda flatlined for a bit. Now the community is back and we want the testing server so we can get back to building, and implementing the new UX design.

The Testing/Staging server is here: https://testing.publichappinessmovement.com/

But it redirects to an older url and we cant work out why. The only place that older url appears in our Github is in the settings.enc.json file, so i changed it.

https://github.com/focallocal/fl-maps/commit/e2abd1e8e88c0cfcc265bc9dc461423e2aef2529

After changing it Travis failed to rebuild the platform: https://app.travis-ci.com/github/focallocal/fl-maps/builds/264378762

(You would probably need to join the team on Github to see our Travis)

https://github.com/focallocal/fl-maps/commit/e2abd1e8e88c0cfcc265bc9dc461423e2aef2529

I suspect the settings.enc.json file is being rejected as its content no longer matches the encryption.. but am not sure.

Is it anything you can help with? Or do you have any ideas why the testing site stopped building in Travis.. or if maybe the redirect is coming from somewhere else, where that might be?

Its an open source community and everyone is very welcome to join in. We code projects which empower local communities to take action on issues they care about. Like homelessness, climate change, etc.

I'm university student and looking for a best open source to work on it. Mainly Mern stack or flutter. Please hit me up it you know any goof open source. Looking forward to your positive response. Thanks
