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. Our services are used daily by researchers across academia, healthcare, and industry, and span genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, molecular interactions, chemistry, and functional annotation.
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) was formed to help accelerate the potential of genomic medicine to advance human health. It brings together over 400 leading genome institutes and centers with IT industry leaders to create global standards and tools for the secure, privacy respecting and interoperable sharing of Genomic data.
The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit organization that believes in a world where everyone is empowered by technology they can trust. We do this by building a diverse and sustainable free software personal computing ecosystem.
Faust (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language for sound synthesis and audio processing with a strong focus on the design of synthesizers, musical instruments, audio effects, etc. Faust targets high-performance signal processing applications and audio plug-ins for a variety of platforms and standards.
Graphite is an in-development raster and vector graphics editing suite that's free and open source. It is powered by a node graph compositing engine that fuses layers with nodes, bringing a generative, procedural approach to the workflows of artists, designers, and animators ranging from students and hobbyists to creative professionals and studios.
JBoss Community is a community of open source projects. The community hosts a diverse set of projects that are written in various programming languages. The primary language is Java, however there are also projects that are written in Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Node and other languages.
The Joomla CMS is a PHP based application that powers about 2.2% of the web, 3.5% of all CMS based websites, as well as many intranets. Joomla has been downloaded over 119 Million times: https://downloads.joomla.org/
Kornia AI is a non-profit organization advancing Spatial Artificial Intelligence through open collaboration. Founded in 2018 and registered as a non-profit in 2023, Kornia AI is supported by a global contributor community. The organization began with Kornia, a widely adopted Python library for Differentiable Computer Vision (>2M downloads/month, 400+ Google Scholar citations).
In recent years, the core maintainers have shifted focus to kornia-rs, a native Rust stack for high‑performance 3D computer vision and spatial AI. Our direction emphasizes robotics and edge deployment: safe, memory‑efficient, low‑latency pipelines that run on constrained devices (e.g., embedded/Jetson‑class hardware). kornia-rs is gaining traction in the open-source community and is used by leading companies such as Farm-ng, Rerun.io, and Copper Robotics, who have featured the project on their platforms.
Learning Unlimited's mission is to create educational opportunities for high school and middle school students, and to provide leadership and teaching opportunities for college students. Learning Unlimited strives to engage students of all ages in an educational setting to share and discover their passions. To accomplish this, Learning Unlimited links local universities with their communities. Our open source work revolves around building and maintaining website infrastructure for these chapters to use.
Liquid Galaxy is a remarkable panoramic system that is tremendously compelling. It started off as a Google 20% project to run Google Earth across a small cluster of PC's and it has grown from there!
Liquid Galaxy hardware consists of one or more computers driving multiple displays. Liquid Galaxy applications have been developed using a master/slave architecture. The view orientation of each slave display is configured in reference to the view of the master display. Navigation on the system is done from the master instance and the location on the master is broadcast to the slaves over UDP. The slave instances, knowing their own locations in reference to the master, then change their views accordingly.
The Liquid Galaxy Project, while making use of Google Earth software, does not develop the Google Earth code-base itself. Google Earth is not open-source software, although it is free (as in beer). Instead, the Liquid Galaxy Project works on extending the Liquid Galaxy system with open-source software both improving its administration and enabling open-source applications, so that content of various types can be displayed in the immersive panoramic environment.
Artificial Intelligence focus:
2026 is the year when AI is going to change the coding industry, and GSoC and the open-source projects on it, have to jump on.
At the Liquid Galaxy community, we’ve been using AI for years to obtain data to be shown on Google Earth for our projects, using many models and technologies.
This 2026, all the projects will have an Artificial Intelligence voice, and most of them will use of diferent AI models to handle queries and arrange data, starting from Google's Gemini and Gemma.
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.
