Hi everyone! I’m Rick and together with some incredible people I’m building Orchest. A pipeline tool for data scientists that let’s them focus on what actually matters.
I’m incredibly impressed by the amazing knowledge and accomplishments of everyone I see in the COSS community. I thank @jj and his team for initiating it and sparking many important and interesting conversations.
Looking forward to learning from all of you.
Thanks for the intro, @ricklamers ! As someone with a bit of data wrangling experience, this seems pretty amazing
Nice to meet you here Rick, would love to check Orchest out! Nice name too

Thanks Sonal! Appreciate the compliment about the name 🤗
Hi everyone!
I'm the creator of open-source headless e-commerce framework vendure. I'm based in Vienna, Austria but originally from the UK.
My project is still in the beta phase and I don't yet have any commercial offerings, but I plan to release some commercial plugins next year (open core model). Right now I have a healthy community with ~600 members in my Slack group and a number of teams & individuals building projects on top of Vendure. Just today I had a call with a team who is using Vendure to build the online store system for a major European supermarket chain!
I'm happy to be a part of this community and share insights with like-minded people 👋
Vendure feels like a breath of fresh air. I’m too scarred from working with Magento I guess to enjoy building E-commerce. But this looks so nice you might make me reconsider. Wish you all the best!
Hi Rick - that's great feedback ;) I started the project as a result of my frustration with the state of existing OSS offerings. There are a lot of frustrated e-commerce devs out there with similar scars. So yours is exactly the kind of reaction I am hoping to create!
Beautiful website, UI, and tool, Michael! Exciting about the community growth and the "Built with Vendure" progress as well!
I should find time to discuss this with you.

Hi everyone, I'm Elena. I am a co-founder of Evidently AI. We build open-source tools for machine learning teams to analyze and monitor ML models in production. We had an early release this month, and are working to build up the functionality. Happy to connect with other open-source startup founders here and on Twitter.
Hi Elena! Good to see you on here too. Looking forward to track Evidently AI - what you’re creating looks very useful. I’d wager most drift goes undetected today. Cheers!
Hopefully COSS.community will be a great nexus point, Elena!
Hey everyone 👋- I'm Sven and I'm the CEO and co-founder of Webiny. We help developers and organizations to build solutions on top of the serverless infrastructure.

Hi everyone, I'm Sam. I'm one of the people helping build COSS.community — just like you!
My background spans writing, experience design, front-end, and lean building. You can see some of my work here.
My main areas of focus are climate, open-source tools, and communities — which is part of why I'm so excited about our COSS.community!
If you're interested in chatting about any of these topics, or introducing on a general note, drop me a line any time!
Hello, my name is Kai Lyons. I am the founder and CEO of Fivnex - a work-in-progress COSS company. I work on Fivnex products like Keter and MEML.
I am here mostly to read and discuss COSS. I am also here to provide support and ideas.
Hi all, I'm Chas, Founder and CTO of an imaging AI company called gliff.ai. We recently received seed funding to develop a suite of private and secure productivity tools for developing imaging AI in regulated space (e.g. health-tech, aerospace, etc.). We've decided to go open-source with our products and have managed to bring our investors on board with the idea and so are now working out the details.
When I next get a proper holiday I also want to pick up a project I started during lock-down to create and open-source (software and hardware) system for automating my Gaggia Classic semi-automated espresso machine... I believe that the extra caffeine might be essential to get us to round A funding!
I'll probably be posting some fairly open questions to help us clarify our ideas surrounding COSS for gliff.ai. I look forward to the discussions!
You can find me on Twitter/GitHub/LinkedIn.
Sounds fascinating, Chas! I love seeing more open-source hardware projects.
Regarding Gliff, an open-source imaging tool for medicine could be a path to normalizing open fundamentals in the health industry overall. Data, therapies — very exciting possibilities!
Hey all, I'm Alex.
I am a backend engineering freelancer and open-source developer.

Thanks for all of the research done into the viability of open source businesses!
Hi. I am KP creator of SimSim.one, an universal Authorization (AuthZ) platform.
I have 35 years of IT industry experience, thrilled to be part of the COSS community.
My project is in development phase, hope to make it commercial OSS eventually. I have to learn all about COSS first. I am here to learn and hopefully meet a co-founder here.
Happy to connect via twitter to explore opportunities to collaborate and work together.
Hi everyone, I'm Andrea. I am a partner of an open-source company associated with the consulting company beSharp.
I'm building an open-source project with the goal to help developers in securing and accessing their Cloud Access.
We had launched the project on the 1 of October and we reached over 5k downloads of the v0.3 release.
Also on the 11 of January, there will be another important announcement of the project, with the release of an important feature.
I'm looking to connecting with other Founders and advisor, here or on Twitter!
Also if you are interested in Cloud and in Cloud access management, in particular, I'm writing a Medium publication on those topics
Hi everyone, I'm Zack Ellis. I'm the founder & CEO of TheirStory. We're building an end-to-end oral history platform to help communities streamline the process for collecting, preserving, and making accessible the audiovisual stories of the individuals that make up their community.
We're very much inspired by the work of the Shoah Foundation -- founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg and responsible for recording, indexing, and preserving the stories of over 55,000 Holocaust and other genocide survivors. Their former executive director, Doug Greenberg is an advisory board member. Our goal is to take the lessons learned around process and technology from the Shoah Foundation and build a platform that will be accessible for any community to preserve and pass on their values, stories, and lessons for generations to come.
We work closely with The Permanent Legacy Foundation who is building an open source preservation platform. More on our partnership here.
One of the challenges of audiovisual media (especially long-form) is finding the moments that are interesting to any given individual and easily editing/manipulating the media. We work closely with the open source community who are building transcript-powered audiovisual technologies to create open source components that we then integrate into TheirStory to create a single integrated system. The open source community is largely led by the Hyperaudio team.
Looking forward to connecting with others in the COSS community!
Hey everyone 👋🏼 I am a serial Forem builder. I am also massively interested in how open-source is going to eat up Enterprise IT and the channel, if anyone has an interesting content on that subject, hit me up!
I also have this crazy vision of an open-source project that takes Heroku to the next level, as easy to use but places your resources on the most cost effective Cloud platform and continues to do so actively over it’s lifespan. Like the emerging home energy supplier abstraction service that’s now available.
Hello all, I'm Bill Shepherd the CEO and joint founder of gliff.ai
Our aim is to help people create the best AI-ML possible, with a suite of productivity tools and to also address many of the concerns users have around the Fairness, Accountability and Transparency of AI.
Our product will be COSS focused upon Imaging in the MedTech sector. We are at the seed-funding stage, looking to raise Series A late 2021. Based in the beautiful City of Durham in England.
Really important work, @billshep . Glad you're leading that initiative and very excited to learn more.

Hi everyone, I'm founder of opensustain.tech and the open-source community protontypes. I'm currently working as a software developer and aerospace engineer at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research at Jülich Research Centre. Previously, I developed autonomous and fully electric delivery vehicles for DHL based on open source technologies like ROS.
protontypes develops the tool LibreSelery for funding distribution in open source and supports organizations to open source principles in sustainable technology domains like renewable energy.
Hi @ly0n , welcome! Exciting work!
Do you know how many projects LibreSelery has been used in? Any insights about the results / effectiveness?
Hi @sam ,
at the moment we are in contact with multiple open source projects that showed interest but we are still testing it on a smaller scale. It is still a prototype and we are lacking resources to scale it since the main developers working full time in other jobs and we also have not that many contact in the COSS community yet.
The concept was tested internally with quite some success and distributed around 3000€ between the contributors of LibreSelery and its dependencies. In the last months, we gathered feedback from multiple communities like GNU or Debian to evaluate the needs of the community. You can see this feedback in our issue board. A new architecture that allows better community adaptions has been created by us and will be released in the next week. Together with the RWTH Aachen University we are also evaluating the economical factor. We are still looking for a stronger partner to go larger steps, that one reason why I joined this community.
Hello Y'all! Lovely to meet you and learn about your projects. Afraid I'm a bit late to this thread - but hey, it's still 2020. Since autumn, I've been working with Scarf (scarf.sh or @scarf_oss on twitter ) on developer content strategy and outreach. I'm a big fan of the dev.to approach to content|community - it's cool to see forem launch to make this replicable ...
@sam does coss.community have a policy around re-posting blog content here to give it better distribution in the coss.community? (cross-posting used to be out of favor, but I don't think that's true any longer... ) Please advise :-) TIA!
Hey everyone, My name's Max from Singapore, I'm the founder and CEO of a impact driven startup that focus on helping PWD (People with Disabilites) & individuals to gain skills or knowledge to become remote workers as well as career progression in tech.
I heard about OSS Captial through the Software Engineering Daily podcast that include Ben from Dev.To. So I joined the COSS community because i want to know 1 of my 2 favourite topics open source and startups. Hopefully from the insights I gained from here, I will be able to help individuals in my startup as well as the developer community in my country who are promoting open source techology.

Hey everyone, I am Anish, a Fullstack Web Developer and a High School Student. I also write blogs on my blog and on Dev.to.
Last month I built a small project called Notiger. which I planned to monetize by providing a hosted plan (self-hosting would be free). However, it didn't take off very well and I am currently working on other projects (OSS too).
I also plan on starting another OSS project next month and if it takes off well, I plan on adding some cloud features (otherwise it will run locally) for teams etc. and make it a COSS project.
Hi everyone, I'm Liyas, founder of Hoppscotch - an open source API development ecosystem — GitHub.

Hi folks! I'm Gus, the founder/CEO of Relaycorp, the company behind Awala. Awala is a open, decentralised computer network that complements the Internet to solve the most pressing issues that humankind faces today.
Our first order of business is to bring connectivity to people disconnected from the Internet – like one half of the world population and much of the other half that’s subject to severe censorship like Internet blackouts.
Software developers can use Awala to make existing Internet-based work offline (just like we did with Twitter), or they can build Awala-native apps to unlock additional benefits – such as avoiding (not just mitigating) spam and phishing, and in the future also Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and misinformation, to name a few.
I'm really excited to be a member of this community!
Hi All! My name is Yuriy,

Hi all, I'm the founder of jPOS, a payment-related open source project used by most successful acquirers, issuers, merchants, and fintech companies.
Although jPOS was initially a 'Java Point of Sale' (in old Java 1.0 days), we soon started to link it to 'Professional Open Source' (first heard from Marc Fleury of JBoss fame). So that's what we do, Java Professional Open Source, highly aligned with this community.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you Joseph (JJ) Jacks for setting this awesome COSS community. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone on this channel.
I'm the former Open Source Director for the WhiteHouse Code.gov Program that enforced the OMB M-16-21 Federal Source Code Policy that required for the U.S. Federal agencies to publish their custom developed software as Open Source Software (OSS).
Also, I co-founded a technology startup in the Consumer Package Food (CPG) industry for 3 years.
Presently I'm looking for technology companies with OSS that I can help grow their business.
Please let me know if I can help.
Thanks,
Ricardo
Hi everyone,
can't believe I found this community only now; it looks amazing and exactly like what I was looking for...
I am the co-founder of COSS ObjectBox (github.com/objectbox) - my Co-founder is the coder (github.com/greenrobot), I am more focused on the business model, licensing, community... (everything really apart from coding 🤣)
We believe in open source, "but" we also want to build a business with ObjectBox.
Looking forward to the exchange with all of you 😊
Vivien.
P.S. At this moment my life revolves around our startup ObjectBox and my daughter (8), but I used to do theatre-plays as a hobby for a long time and I still love reading as much as possible (apart from business & psychology stuff, I love reading fantasy, science fiction like Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett etc.).
Excited to be here!
I'm the founder of SamePage - an intra-tool-for-thought protocol that allows users of TFTs to collaborate across tools. Core use case: I open a page in Roam, you open one in Obsidian, and our changes sync across both apps as if it was a live Google Doc. We hope to add as many supported clients as possible.
I'm particularly interested in the COSS community because it aligns with how I want to build the business model for this protocol. All code is open source and charge users based on their network utilization. This community appears to be an awesome collection of founders from whom I could learn a ton from as the project grows. Excited to learn more!

Hi Everyone! I'm Carlos and together with my best friend Nikolay and a group of collaborators, are building Shelf - Asset Tagging & Tracking Infrastructure for everyone.
Trying to bring fresh, new approach to a 'boring' software business category, and absolutely loving the process. Happy to be building with Remix and Supabase.
I have been in 'done for you' services in the Tech space (agency) for 10 years, building other peoples products and so on. I am so happy to be finally building the project I have been dreaming on for years. Getting myself to the point where I could clearly outline the business opportunity and growth potential for Shelf took me years of passively analysing other startups. I am so happy I managed to get people on board to join me on building the vision to empower people to tag & track 1 Billion assets by 2033.
Excited to hear the thoughts of other community members, and to perhaps fins some avenues for growth/distribution here with you all.
Greetings from a Bolivian/Dutch COSS entrepreneur!
