If you do not like any of the existing projects, why not create your own? You can find some inspiration for possible projects below if you don't already have an idea. If you have a project idea for someone else, feel free to post it below. If you have your own idea or felt inspired by something on this page, create a project and enter the Free Software community!

General

Programming

  • Contribute code to one of the official GNU packages
  • Create a Free Software plugin for your favorite Free Software application
  • Design a distributed social networking platform and release it under the AGPL
  • Create a new GPL or AGPL application from scratch!
  • Look for Free Software projects that have already developed projects for Google Summer of Code

Local Community

  • Organize a GNU/Linux install-fest and/or educational event in your hometown
  • Create a Free Software club at your school to help your peers understand Free Software and switch to GNU/Linux, and provide technical and moral support to these new users
