Today is day 29 of my 29 Days of Open Source Alternatives series, where I explored open source alternatives to proprietary software in the categories of Game Development and Multimedia, Development Tools and Platforms, Productivity and Collaboration Tools, and more. If you'd like to see the full list of the open source alternatives I covered, head over to my 29 Days of Open Source Alts Page.
It's been almost a year since I started at OpenSauced. It's incredible how much we've grown and accomplished over that year. I say this very genuinely. Our team looks at problems and finds ways to solve them. We think about the users and how we can provide them value. We understand the importance of Open Source Insights, especially since GitHub deprecated their Activity Overview of Organization Insights on January 5. We recognize the importance of recognizing contributors and recognizing maintainers. This is a bit of a meta blog post. I want to take the time to recognize my team and the great contributors we have.
OpenSauced is a platform dedicated to empowering maintainers and teams and redefining the meaning of open source contributions. We believe that every contribution, big or small, is valuable and deserves to be recognized. Our platform provides a way to track contributions through a GitHub-powered dashboard, allowing users to showcase their contributions and gain insights into their open source projects.

Docs
As one of the docs maintainers for OpenSauced, I find it helpful to track our docs team to make sure I'm supporting them and to see the progress we're making. (You'll see some huge work shipped from this team in the next couple of weeks on the Intro Repo, when we launch our maintainer course!)
