The Foundation provides an established framework for intellectual property and financial contributions that simultaneously limits contributors potential legal exposure. Through a collaborative and meritocratic development process, Apache projects deliver enterprise-grade, freely available software products that attract large communities of users. The pragmatic Apache License makes it easy for all users, commercial and individual, to deploy Apache products.
The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics is a resource designed to provide broad community access to cancer genomic data. It provides a unique user-friendly and "biology-centric computational user interface", with the goal of making genomic data more easily accessible to translational scientists, biologists, and clinicians. The interface was explicitly built and continues to evolve with careful usability studies involving multiple biological and clinical users, and an active and engaged user base.
CERN-HSF (High-Energy Physics Software Foundation) is the umbrella organization for high-energy physics-related projects in GSoC. The HEP Software Foundation (http://hepsoftwarefoundation.org/) facilitates the coordination of common international efforts in high-energy physics software and computing.
DBpedia is a crowd-sourced community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and make this information available on the Web. It allows for a global and unified access to Knowledge Graphs.
EMBL-EBI is a global centre for biological data, developing and maintaining open data resources and open-source software that support life science research worldwide.

The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF; www.incf.org) is an international organization launched in 2005, following a proposal from the Global Science Forum of the OECD.
MalariaGEN is a global network of global partners who share and integrate data relevant to inform malaria surveillance, our mission is to generate insights and tools that bridge the gaps for analysts in malaria endemic settings to use their data meaningfully to inform public health efforts. We build and optimise data resources and analytical tools to run directly in the cloud. Our flagship project is the Vector Observatory, which includes whole-genome sequence data for over 30,000 mosquitoes, integrating data from 70 partners across the globe from over 17 different mosquito species -- this is the largest resource on genetic variation data for any multicellular organism (other than humans!). Our goal is to enable analysts, scientists, students and public health practitioners to access these data without the need for any dedicated compute infrastructure, by optimising our resources to run within free compute environments (a big shout to Google Colab!) and by developing training resources that support partners to get confident with using cloud-native data and resources for their analysis.
The MetaBrainz Foundation is a non-profit that believes in free, open access to data. It has been set up to build community maintained databases and make them available in the public domain or under Creative Commons licenses.
NumFOCUS supports and promotes world-class, innovative, open source scientific software. Most individual projects, even the wildly successful ones, find the overhead of a non-profit to be too large for their community to bear. NumFOCUS provides a critical service as an umbrella organization for this projects.
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
