New Resource to Connect Developers with Technical Projects Focused on Sustainability
Countless talented developers around the world are looking for ways that their talents can contribute to sustainability. The open source Open Sustainable Technology project already offers a free directory and analysis of the open source ecosystem in the areas of climate change, energy, biodiversity, and natural resources. Only free, open source projects with permissive licenses that permit stakeholders to use the technologies without fees are eligible to be listed. Despite this information being available on the wide range of open source sustainability projects, it can still be difficult for potential contributors to understand how they can get involved with these projects.
That is why ClimateTriage.com has been launched as a dedicated platform focusing on the open technologies that help understand and cooperatively manage the stability of our natural resources. Utilizing a statically exported Next.js build, this project offers a robust and scalable solution for connecting developers with impactful sustainability projects. Projects that are looking for contributors can visit the main repository at Open Sustainable Technology on GitHub, then follow the guidelines provided to submit their project. They should label issues as ‘Good First Issue’ or ‘Help Wanted’. In this way, open source communities help new members to familiarize themselves with the project and thus contribute to the growth of a lasting community. Bringing more developers into sustainability and energy infrastructure projects will help these projects innovate faster to the benefit of stakeholders ranging from utilities to governments to
Whether you are a seasoned developer or a newcomer eager to contribute, ClimateTriage.com provides a curated directory of impactful projects and a pathway to making your first meaningful contribution to open sustainable technology. Simply visit the website and search for projects of interest to you to view what types of contributions they are seeking, then start contributing.
