So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit… issues… I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

    What a nice idea!

    My claim to fame is probably OctoPrint, a web interface for consumer 3d printers that I created over a decade ago now and have been maintaining ever since, since 2014 full time and since 2016 also 100% crowd funded. It’s written in Python (backend) and HTML/JS (frontend) and licensed under AGPLv3.

      Oh I was just listening to a podcast where you were a guest in https://pod.fossified.com/2023/04/05/s01e03.html and I had to lough out loud when they asked you what they could do to bring more women into FOSS or what it was and your response was to not invite them to podcasts only to discuss the topic of women in FOSS :D

        Yeah, that just had to be said since it’s a bit of a pattern indeed 😅 I warned Daniel that I’d drop that if they got me on for that topic ^^

        Yep, foosel aka Gina Häußge, that’s me ^^

        I’ve never met a celebrity before!!!

        I wouldn’t say you have now, because I don’t consider myself one, but if it makes you happy, I won’t judge 😂

      OctoPrint is good stuff. I don’t always have it set up as I usually just use SD cards with my Ender 3, but I appreciate the work that’s gone into OctoPrint. It is a nice interface for 3D printing and the plugin system is great, especially the bed leveling plugin.

        Thanks! 😊 I consider the plugin system one of my best ideas - it’s causing me a ton of grey hair, but it also has allowed people to implement stuff that I’d never could have dreamed of and/or been able to merge in core. And I don’t have to maintain all of that either 😂
