10 open-source projects worth Donation

People who enjoy open-source software often forget that developers who use this code mostly work in private time for free.

For some open-source projects, this is not a problem, but other projects will benefit greatly from donations. Therefore, I think it is necessary to list the 10 projects that should be funded. These projects differ in the scope of audience and impact, and some projects require more than others, but each project will benefit from donations.

 

1. it1c

 

It1c is the first of the two education projects on my list. Most people agree that education projects have a high priority in donations, attention, and general assistance. This open-source project is a powerful teaching tool that allows instructors to guide, control, and test students and their personal computers. It allows instructors to watch and control students' desktops over the Internet. In addition, they can also perform screen operations. Of course, almost all open-source education software projects require financial support, unless it has been funded by a university.

2. claroline

If you have read the running claroline, you may be surprised that you have never heard of it before. Claroline is a web-based application that provides online education and online class management for teachers and students.

Claroline allows you to manage archives and files, courses, students and groups. You can also create online exercises, follow up results, and import the content of the sharable content Object Reference Model (SCORM) to provide chat rooms and forums, and cooperate.

 

3. Enlightenment

 

In a large number of Linux desktops, it is difficult to find a balance between speed and attractiveness that is better than enlightenment. Although the standard practice is not followed, enlightenment is still successful in facilitating the use of desktop users.

Although the project has been running for a period of time and continues to improve, the adoption rate is still surprisingly low. I am very confident in the Enlightenment desktop. If others try it, they will feel the same enthusiasm as me. For E17, the most important thing is getting more exposure time-so donation is really helpful to it.

 

4. GNU health

For hospitals, GNU health is one of the best open source tools. It allows hospitals to focus on family and grass-roots health care, prescription, settlement, genetic and genetic risks of patients, as well as socio-economic issues such as living conditions and drug abuse. GNU Health provides an excellent patient medical record area with images and appointments.

 

5. Lemon POS

Finance is not one of the top brands in the open-source software field. Fortunately, there are two applications that can help small businesses manage their own funds. One of them is Lemon POS. Although the installation process is not the easiest, once started, lemon pos will provide considerate services for small enterprises. Its only drawback is that it has been integrated with an application that tracks assets and finance.

 

6. gnucash

If lemon POs can be integrated into gnucash, the open-source community will have a particularly powerful product for small and medium enterprises. However, even as an independent application, gnucash provides these enterprises with small financial management capabilities.

It is a strong competitor in entry-level accounting and provides significant reporting capabilities, as well as multiple accounts and multiple account types. Gnucash is growing and evolving across platforms.

 

7. audacity

 

This was selected from a bunch of multimedia software. Audacity highlights recording and sound file editing, but its flexibility and reliability often far exceed the expectations of ordinary consumers.

I use this tool every week to record my zombie radio podcast, and I cannot imagine how to produce this professional quality recording without it. Audacity is cross-platform-it can run on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.-it can record on-site sound effects, Edit audio, import, export, and add effects.

 

8. clonezilla

If you are looking for a clone tool, clonezilla is a strong candidate. It allows bare metal backup and recovery, similar to the Enterprise Edition of Norton Ghost and Symantec Ghost. Clonezilla provides the best features for such software packages for free. It provides cost-effectiveness and bare metal recovery.

 

9. squirrelmail

 

I have used a large number of Web-based email tools before. I can say that few of them are comparable to squirrelmailfor in ease of configuration, use, and reliability. Although it is not the opponent of Exchange OWA, squirrelmail is a good solution for Web-based email systems that are not needed by small businesses and educational institutions.

 

10. Meeting Room Booking System

Meeting room booking system (mrbs) may meet the requirements if you don't want to spend money on a scheduling system in a specific industry. This tool is operated by a small development group and they are doing a huge job for the continuous development of the project. With more capital investment, this tool can become larger and find a wider audience. I am happy to see it find my own user group and grow.

 

What do you think?

Every project listed here can benefit from your help. You know there are a lot of good open source projects closed due to lack of funds, and I don't want to see that fate come to any of the projects listed here. With your help, they will flourish. In addition, do you think there are other candidate projects that I should include?
