Hello everyone! My name is Luiza, I am an eighth-semester Bsc Biological Sciences student from São Paulo, Brazil. As part of the LabOp working group, my proposal under the mentorship of Dan Bryce and Tim Fallon aims to build a conversor that takes normal laboratory protocols and translates them into machine executable protocols.

Hey! I’m Prashant Jha, from Pune, a recent undergraduate student from BITS Pilani. As part of the Polyphy my proposal under the mentorship of Oskar Elek aims to develop and improve the current infrastructure.

Namaste everyone🙏🏻! I’m Nandini Saagar, from Mumbai. An undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, IIT (BHU), Varanasi. As part of the Strengthening Underserved Segments of the Open Source Pipeline my proposal under the mentorship of Emily Lovell aims to strengthen the underserved segment of the open source pipeline.

As part of the Open Source Autonomous Vehicle Controller Project my proposal under the mentorship of Aaron Hunter and Carlos Espinosa aims to Develop a tutorial that serves as a comprehensive guide for new users of the OSAVC controller.

Contributing to an open source project is a great way to build a technical portfolio, learn industry tools/practices, and have real-world impact – all while embedded in a collaborative community. The UC Santa Cruz Open Source Program Office (OSPO) wants to support more students on this path, especially those who have been minoritized in tech.

eBPF is a technology that allows sandboxed programs to run in a priviledged context such as a Linux kernel. eBPF is for operating systems what Javascript is for web browsers: new functionality can be safely loaded without restarting or continually upgrading the operating system or browser and executed efficiently.

Proactive Data Containers (PDC) are containers within a locus of storage (memory, NVRAM, disk, etc.) that store science data in an object-oriented manner. Managing data as objects enables powerful optimization opportunities for data movement and transformations, and storage mechanisms that take advantage of the deep storage hierarchy and enable automated performance tuning.

OpenRAM is an award winning open-source Python framework to create the layout, netlists, timing and power models, placement and routing models, and other views necessary to use SRAMs in ASIC design.

Scalable systems lay essential foundations of the modern information industry. HPC data centers tend to have hundreds to thousands of nodes in their clusters. The use of “extreme-scale” distributed systems has given birth to a new type of bug: scalability bugs.

Contributing to an open source project offers novices the opportunity to join a community of practitioners, build a technical portfolio, gain experience with industry tools and technologies, and have real-world impact.
