Advent of Open Source is a community-driven event that aims to introduce newcomers to Open Source Software development, and to help all participants to create or enhance their repositories.

 

I just discovered the project “Every Door” which allows you to edit elements for OpenStreetMap in the blink of an eye.

The project is a simple mobile app written in Flutter and is also opensource under ISC license.

Have a look on Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app) or OSMAnd for example (https://osmand.net/).

BTW I hope any project won’t increase the Z version only by including Dependabot commits, it would be insane. Release must be documented, tested, with CHANGELOG updated. If some maintainers just accept Dependabot commits without checking, move away. That’s just simple crappy auto-merge.

Nice idea 👍

Whatever the solution behind is, if you have the resources, move to something self-hosted. Open core or not, if that topic matters to you, you might need something you can own and control. BTW, have a look on Forgejo, Codeberg and Gitea: these are the solutions I see when people look for something FLOSS, not open core, and maybe self-hostable.

It depends of the project in fact. You should reach the community and maintainers by joining them in their Discord / Slack / Matrix / whatever. They may be able to help you.

You can create first an issue, asking for improvements and create a discussion airy the maintainers so as to know which languages are not managed yet and if they are interested in new support. Explains also why you can bring good translations (e.g. native speaker, teacher, etc). It sill help to bring confidence.

Then create a pull / merge request with the updated files. For example, strings.xml ob Android, .strings in iOS, etc. But beware, localisation is not only a matter of translations. You may have also to support new languages and formats for figures, currencies, or dates for example.

Do not use translations services. Project maintainers are able to use them, and in plenty of cases the translations are not good at all or loose details.

I would have said in fact Matrix or XMPP-based solutions but it seems you already have spotted them. Maybe Mattermost?

The project here is not under an open source license as defined by the 10 criteria of the Open Source Initiative. There is the only acceptable definition of what is open source today, and you can refer to it by clicking on this hyperlink: https://opensource.org/osd

The publication will be deleted as out of topic.

It seems yet Bluesky has an Android app according to their GitHub repository (https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app). However indeed nothing mentioned about F-Droid ; maybe some alternative Mastodon clients can also deal with Bluesky?

Please explain and answer the concerns as voiced by the community ; without more detail man can think your are a troll, a bot, or someone generated this answer using GentAI tools.

Your answer is not accurate as it does not bring useful details to the community which have legitimate concerns.

In addition the mentioned GitHub repository in a first sight does not contain mandatory files like CONTRIBUTING or SECURITY which does not help user be confident and have less concerns. Moreover, as the reproducibility of builds is not easy to prove event for FLOSS projects, you cannot rely on that point about open source approach. It does not seem that you are using either Dependabot, Renovate or Snyk to ensure the security of the software.

You should really bring details and make the community less worried and more confident instead of bringing that type of answers.

Next ones of that type might be removed ; the community is not dedicated to open source washing.

GitLab because for CI/CD is it far, far much user friendly and comfortable to use with GitLab CI compared to GitHub Actions and flows.

In addition I can integrate templates for CI/CD pipelines already defined with the To Be Continuous project (which is open source).

The toolbox was made with an incremental approach. I was defined a a leisure time project, trying to make things fast then wrap anything in a wizard. It is no consistent I agree 😂
