    What if FSF bankrupt?

    What will become of the open source movement if the FSF runs out of money? Inflation and rising salaries could pose a serious threat to them.

    Created an open-source AI agent that helps with troubleshooting incidents

    Hey guys, we’re excited to introduce to you what we’ve been working on for the past few months. We are two co-founders and we’ve both experienced on-call shifts where we felt unprepared, the relevant people weren’t around to help or we were left in the middle of the night trying to figure out what went wrong.

    Merlinn is an open-source AI on-call developer that lives in Slack. It can help you alleviate some of the pains mentioned above by connecting to your favorite tools and pair with you to triage the incident. We also have a pro version that we host on our cloud.

    Our goal is to help companies reduce MTTR, keep your SLAs in check and improve the on-call experience If you’re interested in what we’re doing, you can join our slack community. Visit our repo to learn more.

    That's it! If you have any questions/feedback/thoughts, we'd love to hear them :)

    App for Neuroinformatics Experiment in Python

    This app is Baseline for EEG experiments prepared for data acquisition using BrainAccess devices. It's easy to change it for your needs, and it already has basic EDA, Grid Search Machine Learning algorithms and Data preprocessing using ICA.

    Maybe someone will need that eventually. I did it in spare time from projects in my neuroinformatics research club at my uni,

    Do what you want with put pixel - A graphics library that's too simple

    I wanted something like HTML Canvas outside the browser. I wanted a simple buffer with just three features.

    1. Get a flat RGB buffer
    2. A 'put pixel' function which can put color pixels in the buffer
    3. Save the buffer to a file so that I can see the buffer.

    The target audience are students or people who just want to play graphics algorithms and do not want anything complex.

    Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/coderarjob/ppm-graphics

    You would be amazed what you can do with just put_pixel(). Enjoy!

    AGPL Database with non-OSS Website

    I've been developing FOSS apps and libraries for a while, but right now I'm building a website that I don't really want to publish the source of (a photography portfolio for my brother). To host images, I'm considering using MinIO (as a Docker container in a Compose stack which would have containers for the webserver itself, MinIO and Postgres), but I noticed that it's AGPL licensed. I've licensed my own software under AGPL before, but I must confess I have no idea whether or not using AGPL licensed software (unmodified) as one of the backend services of a closed source website is allowed. Advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

    Edit: I'm not clear on why this was downvoted but I've received a lot of helpful advice. Thanks to everyone who has helped out.

    Add collaborative editing to a text editor

    Hey everyone

    I have built a TUI text editor using Python and curses and was wondering if i could add collaborative editing like functionality [just like google docs] to it.

    I have done some research and have found a tool called automerge but it is available only for web applications.

    If anyone has any ideas please feel free to share them.

    How to find GitHub opensource repo based on country

    Hi everyone, I was trying to find opensource project from different countries, specially Dubai. I have seen many opensource project and startup from many countries. But it's really hard to find opensource project or startup based on any specific country. And it's specifically hard to find a working legitimate opensource project or startup.

    Let me know if you came accross any platform where I can find project or startup Based on country. And if you know someone about any opensource project from Dubai that would be a great help 👍

    Does your project need UX help?

    A while back I asked this and now I'd like to follow up on it.

    I lead a not-for-profit organization that helps facilitate Product/Tech projects so people can learn, grow, and connect with others.

    We're currently turning to the open source community to see if maintainers/project owners would want assistance from a team of UXers.

    If yes or if you're curious/have questions, send me a DM and we can take it from there!

    Yet another react framework

    Hi everybody.

    In the past two months I've been working on a react framework but with the server side written in rust (with working SSR) - here the project.

    The main project's goal is to enable multi-threading server side rendering while still working on the frontend with React to achieve super fast response time in production leveraging a great development experience.

    The project is still missing a ton of features but I'd love to know your thoughts on that - I'm looking for contributors.

    There is also a tutorial here to get started with it!

    Thanks all
