I will be after June 28. I will then announce when the project is ready for contributors.

pdfminer.six

Description
Pdfminer.six is a python library used for extracting information from PDF documents. It is a fork of pdfminer. This fork was created because the original repository is not being maintained anymore. Pdfminer.six is 100 commits ahead of the original pdfminer, thanks to a number of contributors. Parsing PDFs is extremely difficult, and pdfminer provides some APIs that can help in extracting text and non-text information from PDFs. I am one of the maintainers / admins of the project, but unfortunately, I am not able to give this project the time it deserves. A lot of PRs are still pouring in, and there are several open issues as well. I am trying to address them, but it would be great if more people start to contribute to the project.
Some Tasks

• Reviewing existing PRs / resolving open issues.
• There is tons of Documentation work. Somebody can work on making the README better. Maybe beautify it / show capabilities of the library. Documentation is long pending for this project.
• This is a pure python implementation, but there have been suggestions to use cython for increased speed. Maybe, at a later point of time, the library itself can be written in c++, with a simple python interface ( Something like opencv-python. Not sure about this though ).
• I am pretty sure that there are people who are far more experienced in working with open source projects than me. I would love it if people can pitch in their ideas on the future of this project. I don’t have any specific roadmap in mind, so I am open to any suggestion.

Please note that this is in no way an exhaustive list of the tasks. I have just written tasks that I can immediately think of.

Tech Stack - Primarily python

This project is alive primarily because people have actively contributed to it, and haven't let it die. It started with goulu creating the repo, and others contributing from time to time. Hopefully, we can keep maintaining it to make it easier for people to work with PDFs! I will keep adding more open tasks as and when I come up with some. Thank you for your time !
Thank you dev.to for this wonderful platform!

Qub³d Engine Group is a brand new voxel-based engine and game project, aiming to make a mature and extensible Minecraft-like game, backed by a vibrant and friendly community.

Anyone with interest in or experience with the following technologies are encouraged to join the project. They're just starting up, so there's plenty of room to find your niche.

Current Needs:

Are you interested in helping with any of the following? We're working on building small teams for each sector.

• Cross-platform C++ compilation w/ Clang and C++. (We especially need help with wrangling our dependencies.)
• Basic application/library structure work (C++)
• 3D block rendering (C++/OpenGL)
• Map generation (C++)

Team Dynamic:

We are a growing, distributed team of volunteers at varying experience levels, helping and learning from one another. The teams are led by a group of dedicated volunteer leaders, who work together to build a healthy, open, collaborative environment.

Currently, we meet once a week for a DevTalk on Discord, to discuss current project goals and to solve design and logistical problems. We also have a weekly webcast workshop, which covers a wide variety of project management and programming topics.

Tech Stack:

• C++ (especially C++17)
• Clang compiler (GCC secondary)
• OpenGL
• CEGUI
• SDL2
• Lua
• Sphinx (documentation)
• CMake
• Python/Django (marketplace)
• Grav (static website)

Hi everyone,

As described in my last article, my Javascript 2D drawing library is in a semi-stable state.

I'm mainly looking for feedback and idea to add features. My primary goal is to make it accessible to any level of skill, I'm interested in opinions from anyone.

If you want to contribute, I'll be really glad. Hit me up with an MP if you're into it.

Peace !

Once I've finished building my capstone (primarily the backend), I'm planning on converting it into a full FOSS project. I just sent an email describing it like this:

Right now, I'm building a closed social network for families with a focus on data privacy for my software intensive capstone. Architecture plan is a self-hosted Rails API Backend and PostgreSQL via Heroku Click Build on Github and a React PWA front-end with a login/auth similar to Kiwi IRC's login to point the web client to their backend server. I plan to build a react native app later on with the same principles too.

The end goal is to make the onboarding simple enough for non-technical users (that can follow instructions) to host their own instance of the backend. The core features right now are: a family directory with profiles that list addresses and personal info like allergies, a post -> comment -> commentreply model with a newsfeed, recipies database, and a event manager (that is linked to recipes for potluck type events).

It's also built so, if there is a backend/db admin (the inital user) who is apart of two families (i.e. one of a couple) they can host both families on the same backend/api under two seperate families while being able to CRUD based on polices.

I built this mainly to solve a personal issue I noticed. My extended family sucks at communication and there are about 40 of us that are active in our family but not all are on social media; the email chains are terrible; I'm worried about losing family artifacts like stories/losing (a feature for the next iteration) or recipes (because who beat's grandma's recipes); and now that people are becoming more and more privacy aware/cautious, they're not sharing important stuff (i.e. I have a family member that broke their leg and their grown adult child didn't find out until 9 months ago or another family member that broke both forarms in an accident but didn't want to "be a bother" sending out a mass email).

This was a much longer post than I anticipated, but if this sounds interesting, let me know on here or Twitter (@lassitergregg)! I'm trying to decide on a name for the overall project, right now "Ohana" is the front runner.

Late entry here.

I'm woking on a chrome extension to make it easier to navigate through my starred stackoverflow questions.

We are working on a sharding implementation for Ethereum with the Rust programming language, which is fast, safe and concurrent. Ethereum can theoretically be used for any kind of economic and governance activity, at lower costs than conventional approaches, in a decentralized, trustless, and censorship-resistant fashion. Sharding plans to scale Ethereum, at first quadratically, then exponentially.

We're implementing sharding according to collaboration with Ethereum research at ethresear.ch and other teams, which includes tasks outlined in the projects and issues. In the first phase of the roadmap, we only enshrine data availabilty, without execution, thus abstracting execution, and enabling faster and simpler implementation, with each phase being useful. For further information, please refer to our wiki.

I've been building an open source CMS for educators and teachers who want to start their own course sites. It is basically an open source alternative to Teachable.com, Thinkific.com etc., but the feature set is limited.

I am using Next.js, React, GraphQL, MongoDB, Express, Docker to build the software. Feel free to explore the project at github.com/codelit/courselit

At the moment, this package is a part of the go open source community and is versatile enough to be used in various projects. I really hope that it will also be useful to you when working with the database schema.

It is not popular yet, but I am really proud of it and believe it may grow fast with your support and contributions!
