Open source projects for humanitarian work, international development, and peace
UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION: This GSoC organization hosts many different open source projects from which you can choose! Continue reading for details.
We are a community for builders of free and open source software that serves as digital public goods to humanitarian organizations, international development agencies, non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and charities that strive to create positive social change in communities around the world.
To put it more simply: Our member projects build critical tools that support people making the world a better place. These tools sit at the intersection of international development, humanitarian reponse, and peace-building. Because those tools are open source, people and organizations have the guaranteed freedom to use them to build innovative solutions that help achieve the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
For GSoC 2020, our sub-organizations include:
- Humanitarian Open Street Map Team (HOT)
- moja global
- Open Data Kit
- Primero
- Public Lab
- Tor Project
- Ushahidi
Head over to the DIAL umbrella org ideas directory for complete details about all our sub-orgs and how to learn more about each of them.
