  HospitalRun loads really fast; I'm impressed.
  - jglovier 10y ago
    Thanks! The demo has a relatively small data set, but keeping it fast as production data grows is one of the challenges we're working on right now.

Open Synthesis (https://www.opensynthesis.org https://www.opensynthesis.org) Open Synthesis is an open platform for CIA-style analysis of current events. Our mission is to help the public synthesize the flood of information from the media into actionable conclusions. Examples from https://www.opensynthesis.org/boards/ https://www.opensynthesis.org/boards/: - What is the relationship between WikiLeaks and Russian intelligence? - What caused the Space X Falcon 9 explosion? Now that we have a basic MVP, here's what we want to accomplish this month: - Improve new user onboarding; reduce the learning curve of the main analysis interface - Design and implement a moderation system; enable public sign-ups on the site - Engage an initial set of journalists/analysts to get their feedback on requirements - Surface information about evidence quality - Create basic branding materials (e.g., logo) In addition to these immediate goals, we're looking for designers to help with UI/UX design of the site, especially figuring out how to adapt the analysis tool for mobile. Skills we need: design, UX, UI, internationalization, community design, community development, moderation, test engineering, Django, Python 3 License: GPLv3 Sandbox deployment (with no account/editing restrictions): https://open-synthesis-sandbox.herokuapp.com https://open-synthesis-sandbox.herokuapp.com Help Wanted issues: https://github.com/twschiller/open-synthesis/labels/help%20wanted https://github.com/twschiller/open-synthesis/labels/help%20w...

  Should people know what "CIA-style analysis" means? Your short description should explain what this means, or link to an explanation -- otherwise it tells people nothing.
  - tschiller 10y ago
    Thanks for the feedback, I was trying to keep the post short. There's a description of the technique in the GitHub readme and on the front-page of the site. For reference, the site currently supports the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) technique [1].

Borg backup (https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/ https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/) Borg is a cross-platform (linux - osx - bsd) backup tool with deduplication, encryption and compression. It's written in Python (>95 %) with some Cython and C for low-level bit bashing. > What do you hope to build this month? We're working towards the release of 1.1.0 which may occur at the end of this month or the next. It includes a lot of features and general improvements already, but there's always something to do! > What kind of skills do you need? We can always use more testers and people writing better documentation. Code contributions are always welcome as well - test improvements, bug fixes, new features and so on. There has been initial work on a native Windows version to the point that the basic features work, but it would really benefit from an active Windows developer.

Redis Cache: A small project that provides function level caching in Python with Redis (currently only Redis but looking to add more backends). Work has stagnated in the past few months, but there a few issues and ideas that need to be hashed out (cache invalidation, multiple backends, Django built in support, etc). Basically the project is at POC level and can be taken in many directions. It's written in Python, and interfaces directly with Redis. https://github.com/alexk307/redis_cache https://github.com/alexk307/redis_cache. I will tag issues. License: MIT

SocketStream: https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream/issues/608 https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream/issues/608 It's a fantastic real time framework that's been pretty solid over the years. It's advantage is that it borrows from other libraries to get the job done, and is very plug and play (deliberately not in the manner of Meteor.js). I'd love to see it revived, but it's sort of languished for want of decent documentation and a steady stream of contributions.

Jazz A fast Code Editor for the web, similar to CodeMirror, Ace, Monaco. Goal is to be as close to Sublime Text as possible in terms of features and performance. Most major work is done, like the text buffer which outperforms anything else, can handle big files and edits with very high performance. I'd like to improve speed further, specifically view optimizations, add more syntax highlighters, reduce technical debt, extract libraries onto their own repositories with more tests, add integration tests (only unit atm), inline documentation and more. There is a small guide to get started development. Looking for someone passionate with frontend JavaScript development that knows their way around browser bottlenecks so we can work together and move this forward. https://github.com/stagas/jazz https://github.com/stagas/jazz MIT License.

  Project looks pretty interesting. You may want to consider converting your "Issues" file into actual GitHub issues and creating a board to track them. That way people can comment on issues and things like that whereas tracking an "Issues" file is a bit more difficult. Also you could use Markdown or AsciiDoc for the README. It doesn't look pretty right now.
  - stagas 10y ago
    Being a lone wolf on this, I wanted to keep everything as tight and close by as possible to reduce friction and work faster, but you are absolutely right, it definitely needs polishing up and proper issue tracking. Part of the reason why I posted now is that I'm willing to prioritize this and make the effort if I see people interested in collaborating.
- palerdot 10y ago
  Nice project. Your code could use some comments though if you are looking for contributors. Could make onboarding and collaboration little bit easier.

I have a few semi-active projects that could use some love. I'm struggling with RSI right now and have way more creative energy than I can channel, so I'd also be interested in pair programming on my projects via video or in person (Bay Area). All of these projects are MIT-licensed, and I'm pretty good about filing GitHub issues for things that need to happen. Email/Twitter in profile. - - - Usercorn - https://github.com/lunixbochs/usercorn https://github.com/lunixbochs/usercorn Skills: Go, C, Syscall ABI Usercorn is a sort of debugging tool, kernel API emulator, and CPU emulator (powered by Unicorn Engine) rolled into one. It's hard to simply explain the vision but it can do things like run a MIPS Linux binary on x86_64 OS X (kinda like a more powerful qemu-user). Plenty of GitHub issues here, but the main work needed right now: Fixing up bugs related to glibc, dyld, and other runtimes. x86_64 Linux is the best supported loader right now, so the rest could use some love. There's progress being made on OS X / iOS + dyld startup right now. Support for issuing signals to the guest CPU (need a signal handler table on a process's kernel structure, a syscall handler for `signal` and `sigaction`, and code that can jump the guest CPU into a signal handler and do a `sigreturn`) More syscall emulation (~50/350 syscalls are implemented for Linux and OS X), but it's pretty easy to add new ones. Support for guest threading and fork/clone (these will likely need a virtual process/thread table, then each thread/process can run on a Goroutine and take advantage of Go's existing scheduler). Virtual filesystem layer, so syscalls like open/read/write don't go directly to the host OS and can be intercepted/overlaid in a more general sense. - - - lib43 - https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 Skills: C, ASM, Syscall ABI Yet another libc, created as a result of this blog post: http://ryanhileman.info/posts/lib43 http://ryanhileman.info/posts/lib43 - mostly just has string, memory, number, and basic IO functions right now. Ways to contribute: Pick a man page for any missing libc function and implement it in a simple/readable manner, or dive into an architecture syscall ABI (like ARM/NetBSD) and write the assembly backend for it. https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 - - - glshim - https://github.com/lunixbochs/glshim https://github.com/lunixbochs/glshim Skills: C, OpenGL This provides desktop OpenGL ~1.5 sans shaders to any mobile device implementing OpenGL ES 1.0. It has been used to port dozens of open and closed-source games to the Pandora and other mobile platforms. It was also used for the Android real-Minecraft launcher (called Boardwalk I think). Current goals include testing/improving the remote rendering (which allows software like emulators to easily serialize and remotely render OpenGL), increasing compatibility (testing games + filing/fixing issues on GitHub), adding WINE support (will be a trial/error process of running WINE, debugging/fixing the thing that prevents initialization, repeat), and writing more feature tests (which are actually pretty easy. You write a simple program to make OpenGL calls and assert which OpenGL ES calls should be emitted from the other end). - - - patchkit - https://github.com/lunixbochs/patchkit https://github.com/lunixbochs/patchkit Skills: Python, C, ASM This project allows you to reproducibly patch compiled binaries with one or more short Python scripts. It includes an assembler (Keystone), disassembler (Capstone), basic linker, basic static recompilation/code transformation engine, control flow graph, and C compiler integrations... all in about 700 lines of Python. It was mostly created for use in attack-defense Capture The Flag competitions. These are both working patches: def patch(pt): pt.patch(0x800400a, asm='mov eax, 1') def patch(pt): pt.patch(pt.entry, c='void f() { printf("hi\n"); }') It mainly needs glue code written for more architectures, support for PE/MachO formats, and improvements to the C compiler/linker. The provided symbols are mostly specific to Darpa's DECREE environment, so support should be added for yanking/calling symbols from the binary itself as well as integrating something like lib43 to provide a basic libc and syscall support on many platforms. - - - ActualVim - https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim Skills: Python This project is a massive hack to sneakily jam a Vim instance into a Sublime Text buffer. This gives you surprisingly good Vim keybinding support, and even works with your Vim plugins, but it totally breaks Sublime Text plugins and commands (as text changes won't be propagated back to Vim). As a result, the project is mostly a joke right now (just a pretty UI around Vim that breaks most interactive Vim plugins). I do think NeoVim is mature enough to take this the rest of the way into being a serious project, and there's a fair bit of interest. The Sublime Text side of the interface works very well, so the main tasks here would be (1) swapping out Vim for NeoVim (which I seem to remember having a very simple remote control API), and a (2) handler to propagate text changes back from Sublime plugins into the NeoVim buffer.

L2L (http://github.com/meric/l2l http://github.com/meric/l2l) A new programming language that is a superset of Lua and Lisp. You can write code in Lua or Lisp syntax and quasiquote/unquote both Lua and Lisp expressions. The presentation of the project is minimal and off-putting to new contributors. It would be great to change this. A lot of work needs to be done to make it more attractive to contributors, and to make it easy for people to contribute. It requires more documentation, improved documentation, more comments in existing code. I would love some advice as to where and when that documentation and comments be most useful. Can you help?

Appirater Description: A library for your iOS app that gently reminds your best users to review the app. The project has over 4000 stars on GitHub and is widely used in lots of popular apps, however, I don't have much time to devote to maintenance/improvement. It's a small library, so it's easy to jump into. The functionality is limited (but very useful), so there's not a lot of need for constant changes to it either. What to do this month: Fix compiler warnings brought on by the release of Xcode 8. Skills: Objective-C GitHub: https://github.com/arashpayan/appirater/issues/242 https://github.com/arashpayan/appirater/issues/242 How to help: Send me (Arash) an email (arash -at- ara.sh) and let me know you want to help out.

SaferCPlusPlus Description: SaferCPlusPlus is essentially a memory safe dialect of C++. Specifically, it is a library that provides, among other things, safe compatible substitutes for C++'s existing "unsafe" elements (i.e. native pointers and (unchecked) standard library elements). I believe it is currently the highest performing solution for making existing C/C++ code memory safe without requiring any redesigning or re-architecting of the existing code. A motivating goal is to provide a practical solution for the reduction or elimination of "remote execution" vulnerabilities from much of the internet software infrastructure (web browsers, web servers, crypto libraries, etc.) Q: What do you hope to build this month? A1: Convert relevant benchmarks to SaferCPlusPlus to better quantify its performance cost. A2: If someone's really ambitious, start work on automated conversion from C++ to SaferCPlusPlus. Q: What kind of skills do you need? A: C++ Link to GitHub: https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus License(s): Boost

ArchieJs (https://github.com/archiejs/ https://github.com/archiejs/) Langauge: NodeJS Brief: A minimal dependency injection framework for nodejs Details: A nodejs dependency injection framework. Main advantage - (1) forces you to think in decoupled modular logic (also follow TDD practices), (2) better reusability of modules across years Why does nodejs need dependency injection? I think, for above 2 points. Writing DI modules allows better injection for unit testing in other languages; same hold true for nodejs - where better defined interfaces help out in unit testing. It would be great to join hands with any independent contributors or small orgs; people who can evaluate if this approach holds a promise compared to other DI frameworks in nodejs. Personal note: Its not easy to do it myself, because I don't have any financial plans with the particular project - it was mainly done to show my expertise and learn something new while doing it.

SocketStream: https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream/issues/608 https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream/issues/608 It's a fantastic real time framework that's been pretty solid over the years. It's advantage is that it borrows from other libraries to get the job done, and is very plug and play (deliberately not in the manner of Meteor.js). I'd love to see it revived, but it's sort of languished for want of decent documentation and a steady stream of contributions.

Jazz A fast Code Editor for the web, similar to CodeMirror, Ace, Monaco. Goal is to be as close to Sublime Text as possible in terms of features and performance. Most major work is done, like the text buffer which outperforms anything else, can handle big files and edits with very high performance. I'd like to improve speed further, specifically view optimizations, add more syntax highlighters, reduce technical debt, extract libraries onto their own repositories with more tests, add integration tests (only unit atm), inline documentation and more. There is a small guide to get started development. Looking for someone passionate with frontend JavaScript development that knows their way around browser bottlenecks so we can work together and move this forward. https://github.com/stagas/jazz https://github.com/stagas/jazz MIT License.

Project looks pretty interesting. You may want to consider converting your "Issues" file into actual GitHub issues and creating a board to track them. That way people can comment on issues and things like that whereas tracking an "Issues" file is a bit more difficult. Also you could use Markdown or AsciiDoc for the README. It doesn't look pretty right now.
- stagas 10y ago
  Being a lone wolf on this, I wanted to keep everything as tight and close by as possible to reduce friction and work faster, but you are absolutely right, it definitely needs polishing up and proper issue tracking. Part of the reason why I posted now is that I'm willing to prioritize this and make the effort if I see people interested in collaborating.

I have a few semi-active projects that could use some love. I'm struggling with RSI right now and have way more creative energy than I can channel, so I'd also be interested in pair programming on my projects via video or in person (Bay Area). All of these projects are MIT-licensed, and I'm pretty good about filing GitHub issues for things that need to happen. Email/Twitter in profile. - - - Usercorn - https://github.com/lunixbochs/usercorn https://github.com/lunixbochs/usercorn Skills: Go, C, Syscall ABI Usercorn is a sort of debugging tool, kernel API emulator, and CPU emulator (powered by Unicorn Engine) rolled into one. It's hard to simply explain the vision but it can do things like run a MIPS Linux binary on x86_64 OS X (kinda like a more powerful qemu-user). Plenty of GitHub issues here, but the main work needed right now: Fixing up bugs related to glibc, dyld, and other runtimes. x86_64 Linux is the best supported loader right now, so the rest could use some love. There's progress being made on OS X / iOS + dyld startup right now. Support for issuing signals to the guest CPU (need a signal handler table on a process's kernel structure, a syscall handler for `signal` and `sigaction`, and code that can jump the guest CPU into a signal handler and do a `sigreturn`) More syscall emulation (~50/350 syscalls are implemented for Linux and OS X), but it's pretty easy to add new ones. Support for guest threading and fork/clone (these will likely need a virtual process/thread table, then each thread/process can run on a Goroutine and take advantage of Go's existing scheduler). Virtual filesystem layer, so syscalls like open/read/write don't go directly to the host OS and can be intercepted/overlaid in a more general sense. - - - lib43 - https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 Skills: C, ASM, Syscall ABI Yet another libc, created as a result of this blog post: http://ryanhileman.info/posts/lib43 http://ryanhileman.info/posts/lib43 - mostly just has string, memory, number, and basic IO functions right now. Ways to contribute: Pick a man page for any missing libc function and implement it in a simple/readable manner, or dive into an architecture syscall ABI (like ARM/NetBSD) and write the assembly backend for it. https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 https://github.com/lunixbochs/lib43 - - - glshim - https://github.com/lunixbochs/glshim https://github.com/lunixbochs/glshim Skills: C, OpenGL This provides desktop OpenGL ~1.5 sans shaders to any mobile device implementing OpenGL ES 1.0. It has been used to port dozens of open and closed-source games to the Pandora and other mobile platforms. It was also used for the Android real-Minecraft launcher (called Boardwalk I think). Current goals include testing/improving the remote rendering (which allows software like emulators to easily serialize and remotely render OpenGL), increasing compatibility (testing games + filing/fixing issues on GitHub), adding WINE support (will be a trial/error process of running WINE, debugging/fixing the thing that prevents initialization, repeat), and writing more feature tests (which are actually pretty easy. You write a simple program to make OpenGL calls and assert which OpenGL ES calls should be emitted from the other end). - - - patchkit - https://github.com/lunixbochs/patchkit https://github.com/lunixbochs/patchkit Skills: Python, C, ASM This project allows you to reproducibly patch compiled binaries with one or more short Python scripts. It includes an assembler (Keystone), disassembler (Capstone), basic linker, basic static recompilation/code transformation engine, control flow graph, and C compiler integrations... all in about 700 lines of Python. It was mostly created for use in attack-defense Capture The Flag competitions. These are both working patches: def patch(pt): pt.patch(0x800400a, asm='mov eax, 1') def patch(pt): pt.patch(pt.entry, c='void f() { printf("hi\n"); }') It mainly needs glue code written for more architectures, support for PE/MachO formats, and improvements to the C compiler/linker. The provided symbols are mostly specific to Darpa's DECREE environment, so support should be added for yanking/calling symbols from the binary itself as well as integrating something like lib43 to provide a basic libc and syscall support on many platforms. - - - ActualVim - https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim Skills: Python This project is a massive hack to sneakily jam a Vim instance into a Sublime Text buffer. This gives you surprisingly good Vim keybinding support, and even works with your Vim plugins, but it totally breaks Sublime Text plugins and commands (as text changes won't be propagated back to Vim). As a result, the project is mostly a joke right now (just a pretty UI around Vim that breaks most interactive Vim plugins). I do think NeoVim is mature enough to take this the rest of the way into being a serious project, and there's a fair bit of interest. The Sublime Text side of the interface works very well, so the main tasks here would be (1) swapping out Vim for NeoVim (which I seem to remember having a very simple remote control API), and a (2) handler to propagate text changes back from Sublime plugins into the NeoVim buffer.

L2L (http://github.com/meric/l2l http://github.com/meric/l2l) A new programming language that is a superset of Lua and Lisp. You can write code in Lua or Lisp syntax and quasiquote/unquote both Lua and Lisp expressions. The presentation of the project is minimal and off-putting to new contributors. It would be great to change this. A lot of work needs to be done to make it more attractive to contributors, and to make it easy for people to contribute. It requires more documentation, improved documentation, more comments in existing code. I would love some advice as to where and when that documentation and comments be most useful. Can you help?

SaferCPlusPlus Description: SaferCPlusPlus is essentially a memory safe dialect of C++. Specifically, it is a library that provides, among other things, safe compatible substitutes for C++'s existing "unsafe" elements (i.e. native pointers and (unchecked) standard library elements). I believe it is currently the highest performing solution for making existing C/C++ code memory safe without requiring any redesigning or re-architecting of the existing code. A motivating goal is to provide a practical solution for the reduction or elimination of "remote execution" vulnerabilities from much of the internet software infrastructure (web browsers, web servers, crypto libraries, etc.) Q: What do you hope to build this month? A1: Convert relevant benchmarks to SaferCPlusPlus to better quantify its performance cost. A2: If someone's really ambitious, start work on automated conversion from C++ to SaferCPlusPlus. Q: What kind of skills do you need? A: C++ Link to GitHub: https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus https://github.com/duneroadrunner/SaferCPlusPlus License(s): Boost

ArchieJs (https://github.com/archiejs/ https://github.com/archiejs/) Langauge: NodeJS Brief: A minimal dependency injection framework for nodejs Details: A nodejs dependency injection framework. Main advantage - (1) forces you to think in decoupled modular logic (also follow TDD practices), (2) better reusability of modules across years Why does nodejs need dependency injection? I think, for above 2 points. Writing DI modules allows better injection for unit testing in other languages; same hold true for nodejs - where better defined interfaces help out in unit testing. It would be great to join hands with any independent contributors or small orgs; people who can evaluate if this approach holds a promise compared to other DI frameworks in nodejs. Personal note: Its not easy to do it myself, because I don't have any financial plans with the particular project - it was mainly done to show my expertise and learn something new while doing it.
