| OpenCosmos | Real-time space dashboard: ISS tracking and live charts. |
| OpenMind | Runs structured case studies on a topic instead of returning links or a generic summary. |

good first issueis the place to start. - Comment to claim it, so nobody duplicates your work.

Code is one way in, not the only one. Writing, docs, design, teaching, translation, video, events and bug reports all count — the Contributing Guidelines cover each path in detail.
Bringing your own project? You stay the creator and lead maintainer. We add contributors, review, and visibility.

Everything we plan to build next is on the public roadmap.
Can I showcase projects under ODS as my own work?
Absolutely. Projects you create or contribute to remain yours. List them on your resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn — ODS exists to support your growth, not claim your achievements.
What happens to my project if I transfer it to ODS?
You retain full credit as creator and can continue as lead maintainer. We provide community support, contributors, and visibility — you keep control over direction and decisions.
Do I lose ownership rights?
No. ODS is a platform, not a company claiming IP. You always own your work and can showcase it as yours.
Can I leave or take my project back?
Yes. If you ever want to move your project out of ODS, we'll support that decision. No lock-in, no penalties — just community support when you need it.
Open Dev Society — building the future, openly. Read the manifesto for why.
