Ask HN: Which open source projects are tackling social problems out there?
Do you know any open source projects that aim to solve any of the most important social challenges of our days - poverty, water access, immigration issues, endangered species monitoring and control, etc..?
Or has software/open source development been completely detached and uninterested with these kind of problems?
