<p>This is the place to be if you love computer graphics. We do 2D/3D modeling, 3D printing, solid geometry, design, and more. Depending on the project, you have the opportunity to work with C/C++, Python, OpenGL, OpenCL, Qt, Javascript, and more... Help us develop open source computer-aided technologies (CAx)!</p>
<br>
<p>We operates as an umbrella organization with several CAx communities including:</p>
<br>
<ul>
<li> - OpenSCAD is a solid 3D modeler with a rich syntax for programmable geometry.
<li> - LibreCAD is a 2D modeling system specializing in blueprint-style drawings and draftings.
<li> - IfcOpenShell is a library for working with standard IFC building model data.
<li> - BRL-CAD is a solid modeling suite with conversion and advanced solid ray tracing features.
<li> - Manifold is a solid geometry mesh processing library.
</ul>
<br>
<p>We want to select at least one student for each, so feel free to ask us where to start.</p>

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.
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.
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.
Submitty is an open source programming assignment submission system with secure and automated testing and grading, efficient manual TA/instructor grading, and additional tools for overall course management and communication between students and instructional staff. Submitty was launched by the Rensselaer Center for Open Source Software (RCOS) in 2014.
