Let's match open source projects that need help with developers looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for open source - a monthly thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.

Please include: Project name and description (if not widely known); Tech stack; Areas needing help (DOCS, CODE, DESIGN, etc.); Level (BEGINNER-FRIENDLY if applicable); Email address or other means of contacting you.

Ground rules:

Post only if you maintain/run the project

One post per project/suite

No commercial recruitment

No thread complaints

Developers: Only reach out if you actually want to contribute.

IfcOpenShell - https://ifcopenshell.org - https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell

An open-source toolkit for developing digital platforms in the built environment. With IfcOpenShell, you can read, write, and modify Building Information Models (BIM) using the IFC standard — a versatile and open digital language spanning the entire lifecycle of buildings, from design to construction and beyond.

Now including Bonsai, a Blender-based 3D editor to create and edit multidisciplinary information within IFC models.

The built environment is a major contributor to emissions, making sustainability in design, construction, and operations an area we can work on with data-driven decisions unlocked by open source tools.

CAD/BIM has long faced lock-in by the proprietary nature of traditional tools. We aim to change that.
