#12[meta comment]: Perhaps we should distinguish between "seeking contributors" and "seeking volunteers." I opened this thread hoping to see non-profits that need IT or software engineering support, but instead found a bunch of open-source projects looking for new contributors.

#13SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: Assertables (Rust crate)
https://github.com/sixarm/assertables-rust-crate
Assertables is a Rust crate that provides assert macros for strings, sets, streams, and more. This helps Rust coders write better clearer tests, and get better clearer error messages.
The aim is to encourage more developers to try Assertables. If you're a coder, want to write more macros? If you're a writer, want to improve the docs? If you're a testing advocate, want to reach out to developers to ask them to try Assertables?
The project is 100% free open source pro bono.

I will spend this weekend adding issues and cleaning up dev documentation. I still need help with water shader, plugin version and migration handling, and a few other topics.

Put "Volunteer Opportunity" in the subject, just so I don't confuse you with a recruiter.

#16SEEKING PROJECTS - 20 years of coding, tons of Python and Linux, a bit of web frontend, data pipelines, and many years of core AWS products, ideally looking for projects with social impact.
Hello Daishiman, a non-profit called H4H (Hearts for the Homeless) is looking for help with finishing their app. [1] They work in disaster relief, mental health screenings, and vaccinations for the unhoused populations both in America and abroad. They actually already have some code written on GitHub. (To see, please contact kyle [at] h4hinternational [dot] org)
Disclaimer: I am Soobin, a co-founder of Nsustain, which stands for e[N]vironment and [sustain]ability. We connect people who work in high impact areas but need help with technology with people who have the tech knowledge and want to help.

#17SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

#18SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: Lutino.io > Edit/revamp/extend good quality code in Java plus some marketing tricks.
Was kind of curious so went to Lutino.io (because there's no link to the project) and it appears to be a proprietary subscription tracking service with no obvious way to "volunteer".

Good luck with the project!
I’m working on something similar - ASR for dysarthric speech - and I’ll happily follow your project so maybe we can both benefit. Do you have some X/Mastodon account where you share the progress?

#20SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: Motūrus OS
Motūrus OS is a new operating system for VMs written in Rust. A lot of interesting things to do for someone interested in systems-level Rust projects, from a simple Elf loader to a crash-resistant filesystem.
Or just porting C stuff like vim.
