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.

For the last 6 months I have been working on a completely open flight stick design. Just me working on it. DIY hotas sticks is a pretty damn niche hobby.

6 axis, 32 button, based on the MiG31 design, with a front panel on the base (on this design).

Not the most cost efficient vs quality as everything is 3D printed. Honestly it is my second big 3D modeling design and it was a pretty complicated one to get right. Ran into a lot of FreeCAD bugs. First time working with libopenCM3 also, so much less bloated than STM HAL. Plenty of improvements to come once it is released.

Open hardware with the CERN OHL V2 S and the firmware GPL3.0. Edit: forgot to link it - https://github.com/JustEnoughDucks/LibreMiG-S

Of course! Documentation and build guides/BOMs are what I am working on now. I never realized how much of a pain a full assembly guide is 😂
