Creating amazing OSS for Media & Entertainment.
Providing excellent tools for graphics developers and driver makers
A modern open source rendering engine for animation and visual effects
Blender is a free and open source 3D creation suite, providing individuals and small teams a complete pipeline for 3D graphics, modeling, animation and games.
The Debian Project is an association of Free Software developers who volunteer their time and effort in order to produce and maintain a completely free operating system Debian. Since its launch, the Debian project has grown to comprise more than 1,000 members with official developer status, alongside many more volunteers and contributors. Today, Debian encompasses over 50,000 packages of free, open source applications and documentation.
FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software application with finite element method (FEM) support. It is intended for mechanical engineering product design but also expands to a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or electrical engineering. FreeCAD is free and open-source, under the LGPL-2.0-or-later license, and available for Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems. Users can extend the functionality of the software using the Python programming language.
The cross-platform game engine designed for everyone.
Developing open software for IVI and the connected car.
Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
Haiku is a fast, efficient, easy to use and lean open source operating system inspired by the BeOS that specifically targets personal computing.
A language for fast, portable computation on images and tensors

Community of technologists, designers, writers and advocates who work to ensure freedom for all people through our software.
The National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB, https://nrnb.org) organizes the development of free, open-source software technologies to enable network-based visualization, analysis, and biomedical discovery. Biomedical research is increasingly dependent on knowledge expressed in terms of networks, including gene, protein and drug interactions, cell-cell and viral-host communication, and vast social networks. Our technologies enable researchers to assemble and analyze these networks and to use them to better understand biological systems and, in particular, how they fail in disease. The NRNB mentoring organization includes projects such as Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/), WikiPathways (https://wikipathways.org/), SBML (https://sbml.org/), SBGN (https://sbgn.github.io/) and others. This is a great opportunity to work at the intersection of biology and computing! For example, Cytoscape is downloaded over 24,000 times per month by researchers. We take mentoring seriously and are proud of our 96% success rate (https://nrnb.org/alumni.html#gsoc-tab) with former students and projects. But don’t take our word for it, read testimonials from prior NRNB students (https://nrnb.org/testimonials.html#student-tab) and mentors (https://nrnb.org/testimonials.html#mentor-tab). Find out more about the software projects being developed in coordination with NRNB at our website (https://nrnb.org). Also refer to our GSoC page (https://nrnb.org/gsoc.html) for additional resources and application tips.
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.
Advancing Open Source & Open Science for Chemistry
++ beneficial uses of computer vision in society
Realtime Audio/Visual Programming Environment
R provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. R is often the tool of choice for research in statistical methodology.
Cross-platform numerical computational package and programming language.

The Julia Language is an open-source, high level, and dynamic language built to be easy to use like Python while having speed near C++. As an umbrella organization, we house projects related to core Julia (the language) as well as packages from the broader Julia ecosystem.
The VideoLAN project is led by and composed of a team of volunteers who believe in the power of open source to rock the multimedia world. We produce multimedia software notably the famous VLC media player as well as designated libraries and codecs.
Contributor counts are accepted projects per cycle.
