Good ideas should spread like wildfire, instead of rotting on hard disks and in notebooks! That means they deserve a platform, like knowledge deserves Wikipedia and quality code deserves GitHub. Building such a platform for open sourcing ideas is a current project of mine.
I believe we as humanity must collaborate much more in order to tackle the challenging problems of our time. Therefore I consider the open source idea in general (not exclusive to software!) to be a very strong narrative, countering the current exploitative establishments.
Early on when I started coding, I realised how essential open source software is for creating quality software. It did not take long until I started contributing to public projects here on GitHub and now I maintain multiple own packages (s. below).
Your sponsorship is supporting the open source idea by enabling me to do what I am passionate about:
- maintaining and improving (my) open source software
- implementing my ideas in new projects
- extending and sharing my knowledge
- encouraging others to join
First Update
With the help of my sponsors I was able to improve the quality of my open source packages:
-
I am very proud that
timezonefinder
has reached more than 5M downloads!
Its latest versionv4.4.0
contains some bugfixes and improvements, including the option of suggesting the most likely precomputed timezone with the new classTimezoneFinderL
.
This approach is much faster and uses less computational resources for all users not depending on exact results. -
Most of my work however went into the paper of
multivar_horner
which is currently in review and hopefully soon being published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS).
Check out the draft HERE. -
I also published an official sphinx documentation of all my open source packages on readthedocs.io: timezonefinder, extremitypathfinder,multivar-horner
If you have any suggestions or requests for the open source software of course still do not hesitate to contact me.
Please follow me on GitHub and star my repositories, if you have not already done so.
Thank you in advance for your support!
