Open Source Monthly is a series aimed at promoting open source projects by helping first-time contributors find suitable projects, encouraging corporations and individuals to sponsor projects, and assisting maintainers in gaining consistent contributors and sponsors. This edition highlights Sharing Excess, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit addressing food insecurity by redistributing surplus food through partnerships with local businesses and using a Progressive Web App developed by Drexel University students. The app, maintained by Ryan McHenry, facilitates food deliveries to nonprofits and food banks. The project encourages collaborative efforts with similar organizations to amplify impact and offers various opportunities for code and non-code contributions. Additionally, the series spotlights "Mulheres no mundo da tecnologia," a non-code project celebrating women in technology, emphasizing the value of diverse contributions to open source. The initiative underscores the importance of introducing open source at the collegiate level to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the tech community.
