We're a tech nonprofit connecting people in need to volunteer networks who can help.

<div>Reach4Help is a tech nonprofit dedicated to <strong>unifying help around the world</strong>. We're building open-source tools to provide <strong>easier access to local volunteer organizations</strong> and to <strong>support nonprofits in the field</strong> with deliveries, vaccination drives and more. </div><div><br />Our platform enables users to <strong>create mutual help networks in their local communities</strong> where people in need can <strong>send out a local call for help</strong> (need in-home care items, require grocery/medical supplies delivery, etc.) and are <strong>paired with trusted volunteer organizations who can help</strong>. <br /><br />On top of <strong>making help more accessible to those in need</strong>, we're also <strong>enabling partner groups and organizations to help more efficiently </strong>by mobilizing their volunteers with the help of our tracking and ticketing system.  <br /><br />One of our other projects is our <a href="https://opencollective.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmap.reach4help.org%2F"><strong>global map of over 9 thousand aid organizations</strong></a>, serving as a <strong>single repository of volunteer help</strong> through the pandemic, Mexican earthquake, California wildfires and Texas power crisis. <br /><br /> Recently, to <strong>support the Indian people against the devastation</strong> caused by the recent surge of cases there, we've been working alongside teams on the ground to put up <strong>thousands of NGOs, hospitals and individuals providing critical resources</strong> (hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, medicine, etc.) on our map to <strong>make them accessible for the millions of people who desperately need them</strong>. <br /><br /><figure data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="https://opencollective-production.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fc37e760-d1b5-11eb-ad10-5f443496caa1.png" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><br />We've been honored to receive support from companies like <strong>Google, Slack, Algolia, Airtable, Figma and others</strong> on our mission.

Sandstorm is a secure, easy to use platform for self-hosting web applications

<div> </div><div>Sandstorm is a web app hosting platform which prioritizes security and ease of use. It is designed to bring the convenience of cloud-based web apps onto a self-hosted platform. Users can install applications as easily as they install apps on their smartphone, and share and collaborate with other users easily. Sandstorm is designed to be easy to stand up and administrate as well, including support for automatically configured free dynamic DNS addresses and Let’s Encrypt certificates. Sandstorm can work well for personal use, small family or social groups, and organizations.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, where Sandstorm really stands apart from other platforms in the app hosting and virtualization spaces is its approach to security. Unlike many other container-based app platforms, Sandstorm handles all of the authentication, access, and security at a granular level. Apps packaged for Sandstorm are not containerized per app, but per document, or “grain”, as Sandstorm refers to individual instances of each application. In the case of a spreadsheet application such as EtherCalc, each spreadsheet is hosted in a separate secure container, started and stopped on demand.</div><div><br /></div><div>In practice, apps packaged for Sandstorm are often more secure than the same exact apps running on their own, or within another hosting platform, as access to one document cannot be exploited to access another document, as can commonly occur with security flaws in conventional web applications. Most vulnerabilities in packaged apps simply do not apply to their Sandstorm counterparts.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sandstorm was launched via a crowdfunding campaign in 2014, operated as a startup until it spun down in 2017, and has continued as an actively-maintained community project since then. The Sandstorm community is looking to raise funds to support continued development of new features and additional app packaging efforts.</div>

An open source tool written in Swift that abstracts the complexities of maintaining and interacting with Xcode projects. It lets you focus on your apps

<p>Tuist is a command line tool that makes generating and interacting with Xcode projects easy and convenient. The project was started by Pedro Piñera in 2017, together with some other open source projects Tuist is built upon. Since then, Tuist has empowered several projects and organizations that faced the struggles and cumbersomeness of using Xcode at scale.</p>
<p>Tuist is a fully-featured tool for Xcoders. It abstracts intricacies of Xcode projects to let you focus on coding your apps for Apple platforms. It’s entirely written in Swift, and thoroughly tested for your projects to safely rely on it.</p>
<p>Tuist is here to stay, and our team of Core maintainers is working hard to ensure that it does. However, nobody is currently being paid for this work, meaning that everybody here dedicated a big chunk of their free time towards making sure that Tuist is the best it's ever been. We have lofty goals, so anything would help to keep us going!</p>
<p>In the future, we would also like to work on other things that will improve the Tuist ecosystem. Here's a couple of ideas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Manage signing certificates and provisioning profiles with a robust and standard approach.</li>
<li>Publish new versions of the app directly from the terminal, without having to write a single automation script.</li>
<li>Support for transitive static dependencies with resources.</li>
<li>Support for app extensions.</li>
</ul>

CoBox is an encrypted p2p file system and distributed back-up tool.

<div><a href="https://cobox.cloud/">CoBox – a peer-to-peer cloud</a> infrastructure to enable cooperatives, SMEs, collectives, freelancers and artists to securely back-up each others files. <br /><br />Many of us have been relying on corporate cloud infrastructures for our back-ups simply because we need the resilience and availability that these offer and do not have the technical capacity to do otherwise. But in recent years, the trade-off of cloud infrastructures is becoming apparent for society more broadly – from security breaches, to the use of our collective data for overt social, political and economic manipulation.<br /><br />Our idea is that we can have the best of both worlds – taking advantage of the resilience offered by the distributed nature of the cloud, but without the centralisation of control. With CoBox, your data will remain encrypted and backed up amongst a trusted network of your peers.</div>

Ersilia is a charity developing open source tools to facilitate global health drug discovery, with a focus on neglected diseases.

<div>The Ersilia Open Source Initiative is a UK-based charity whose mission is to strengthen research capacity against infectious and neglected diseases. We do so by providing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) methods for drug discovery and global health.  <br /><br />AI/ML tools holds the power to revolutionize the drug discovery field, reducing the time and costs to new drug development, but they are not yet broadly implemented in day-to-day experimental research. At EOSI, we aim to popularize and democratize the access to AI/ML methods via the  Ersilia Model Hub, the first unified framework for the distribution of ready-to-use AI/ML models for biomedicine, prioritising infectious and neglected disease areas. <br /><br /></div><div>The Ersilia Model Hub is a free, online, open-source platform where scientists can browse through a catalogue of AI/ML models, select the ones that are relevant to their research and run online predictions without the need to write a single line of code. We are gathering, in a single resource, two classes of models. On the one hand, we collect models developed by third parties and available in scientific publications. On the other hand, we develop models in-house and/or in collaboration with research groups in LMICs. In other words, part of our philanthropic mission is to increase visibility and facilitate access to AI/ML research developed by the community, and part is to contribute AI/ML tools ourselves in order to fulfill unmet global health needs.  The Ersilia Model Hub currently works on a CLI interface (check our <a href="https://github.com/ersilia-os">GitHub</a>).<br /><br /> We are a small but mission-driven, committed team with a clear vision: a world with egalitarian access to healthcare.

A seamless REST/GraphQL API mocking library for JavaScript applications.

<div>Mock Service Worker is an API mocking library for JavaScript applications. It uses Service Workers to intercept requests on the network level, once they were actually dispatched and left your application. Because of this, you don't have to alter your application for the sake of mocking.<br /><br />By introducing a standardized way to write mocks — request handlers — MSW allows you to reuse the same mock definitions in multiple environments and for various purposes: testing, development, debugging. <br /><br />Rich support for REST and GraphQL API makes it silly-easy to cover your use cases and enable fast prototyping via a mock-first development. </div>

<div>Kendraio is a nonprofit interoperability advocacy initiative. Our mission is to empower individuals through the benefits that come from increased interoperability and a culture of data-sharing.<br /><br />Kendraio App is a low-code bi-directional data-browser dashboard application that helps artists and their teams manage the services they use, from social media to royalty data. By using APIs we can pull data from multiple sources into Kendraio App where artists and their team can combine, display, and analyse it exactly how it suits their needs. <br /><br />Our current focus is on the creative industries, specifically the music industry, but the benefits and transformative attributes of interoperability apply to all areas of public and personal life. Access to large amounts of high-quality data empowers individuals, businesses and governments to make better decisions more quickly and more efficiently. This creates better legislation, products, as well as a more informed population and these things, in turn, lead to healthier economies and better quality of life.<br />We are coding reference implementations of dashboard applications enabling artists/bands/managers/labels to manage their assets and associated rights.<br /><br /></div><h3>Contribute</h3><div><br />We are looking for coders and funders...<br /><br /></div>

A toolkit to automate & enhance your workflow

<h3>Building up</h3><div>Since 2013, gulp has been the toolkit of choice for developers and designers alike. Not only do we have communities who’ve relied on us since the beginning, but there’s also a constant flow of new users who find out how great their workflow can be with gulp.<br /><br />Prior to the last major release, gulp was maintained by a sole maintainer who wasn’t always able to dedicate much time to the project. You might have noticed releases taking a while. 😉<br /><br />In preparation for the release, we focused on raising funds for the project to expand the team. Our goal was to have a variety of maintainers, each working on smaller parts of the large system. Now, we have over a dozen team members, including developers, documentarians, and even a triage team all working in their “spare” time to maintain and improve the project you love. ❤️<br /><br /></div><h3>Towards sustainability</h3><div>If you’ve used our documentation in the last few years, you’re experiencing first-hand the benefits of funding gulp. With a moderately successful funding effort, we found contributors to focus their time and energy, leading to the creation of high quality documentation. Whether you’re a new user just <a href="https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/getting-started/quick-start">getting started</a> or a power user looking to <a href="https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/api/concepts">improve your workflow</a>, there’s something for everyone!<br /><br />There is still plenty of work do in all parts of the project, so we created an official <a href="https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/EXPENSE_POLICY.md">Expense Policy</a> to ensure all our maintainers are being compensated for the vital work they do.<br /><br /></div><h3>Help us grow</h3><div>Gulp is still going strong, but we need your help! We want to continue expanding our team and find even more contributors from every discipline.<br /><br />We also want to keep building the <a href="https://github.com/gulp-community">gulp community</a>, a place for plugin authors to collaborate with the core team on best-in-class plugins for all of our users.<br /><br /></div>

We advance human rights and defend your privacy online. Download Tor Browser for protection against tracking, surveillance, and censorship.

<p>The Tor Project, Inc, became a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2006, but the idea of "onion routing" began in the mid 1990s.</p>
<p>Just like Tor users, the developers, researchers, and founders who've made Tor possible are a diverse group of people. But all of the people who have been involved in Tor are united by a common belief: internet users should have private access to an uncensored web.</p>
<p>In the 1990s, the lack of security on the internet and its ability to be used for tracking and surveillance was becoming clear, and in 1995, David Goldschlag, Mike Reed, and Paul Syverson at the U.S. Naval Research Lab (NRL) asked themselves if there was a way to create internet connections that don't reveal who is talking to whom, even to someone monitoring the network. Their answer was to create and deploy the first research designs and prototypes of onion routing.</p>
<p>The goal of onion routing was to have a way to use the internet with as much privacy as possible, and the idea was to route traffic through multiple servers and encrypt it each step of the way. This is still a simple explanation for how Tor works today.</p>
<p>In the early 2000s, Roger Dingledine, a recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate, began working on an NRL onion routing project with Paul Syverson. To distinguish this original work at NRL from other onion routing efforts that were starting to pop up elsewhere, Roger called the project Tor, which stood for The Onion Routing. Nick Mathewson, a classmate of Roger's at MIT, joined the project soon after.</p>
<p>From its inception in the 1990s, onion routing was conceived to rely on a decentralized network. The network needed to be operated by entities with diverse interests and trust assumptions, and the software needed to be free and open to maximize transparency and separation. That's why in October 2002 when the Tor network was initially deployed, its code was released under a free and open software license. By the end of 2003, the network had about a dozen volunteer nodes, mostly in the U.S., plus one in Germany.</p>
<p>Recognizing the benefit of Tor to digital rights, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) began funding Roger's and Nick's work on Tor in 2004. In 2006, the Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded to maintain Tor's development.</p>
<p>In 2007, the organization began developing bridges to the Tor network to address censorship, such as the need to get around government firewalls, in order for its users to access the open web.</p>
<p>Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began. Development of Tor Browser began in 2008.</p>
<p>With Tor Browser having made Tor more accessible to everyday internet users and activists, Tor was an instrumental tool during the Arab Spring beginning in late 2010. It not only protected people's identity online but also allowed them to access critical resources, social media, and websites which were blocked.</p>
<p>The need for tools safeguarding against mass surveillance became a mainstream concern thanks to the Snowden revelations in 2013. Not only was Tor instrumental to Snowden's whistleblowing, but content of the documents also upheld assurances that, at that time, Tor could not be cracked.</p>
<p>People's awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom. Today, the network has thousands of relays run by volunteers and millions of users worldwide. And it is this diversity that keeps Tor users safe.</p>
<p>We, at the Tor Project, fight every day for everyone to have private access to an uncensored internet, and Tor has become the world's strongest tool for privacy and freedom online.</p>
<p>But Tor is more than just software. It is a labor of love produced by an international community of people devoted to human rights. The Tor Project is deeply committed to transparency and the safety of its users.</p>
