- samdk 17y agoTo summarize: HFOSS is an organization that helps get students (and hopefully, soon, others) involved in FOSS projects that have humanitarian goals/benefit society in some way. If you're looking for major, well-established projects, we've worked with the Gnome Accessibility Project, OpenMRS, Sahana, and a few others I'm forgetting right now. We also have some projects we've started that are primarily student-run at the moment: POSIT (posit.hfoss.org -- Android app for mobile search and identification) and Collabbit (collabbit.org -- RoR webapp for emergency management). I'm not sure what capacity right now the various projects we're involved in have for taking on new members, but I'd be glad to put you in touch with people you can ask. I was an HFOSS summer intern this past summer, and I'm now on the steering committee. Feel free to get in touch (e-mail is in my profile) if you're interested or have questions.
