Software as a public good
Software as a public good
https://github.blog/open-source/social-impact/software-as-a-public-good/
Open source software underpins all sectors of the economy, public services and even international organizations like the United Nations. How can all its beneficiaries work together to make the open source ecosystem more sustainable?
What are some open source projects that had substantial initial releases or updates that seemingly came out of nowhere?
With a lot of open source projects being worked on largely out of passion rather than financial gain I feel like there must have been several times where a release caught people off guard and "came out of nowhere" with its impressive scale.
To give some examples of how this might happen maybe it was an initial release dropped to the public in a complete state that had been worked on for a while privately or a project that was dormant for an extended period of time and picked back up.
Can anyone here think of an example? It doesn't necessarily need to be something groundbreaking maybe it got people excited in a very specific niche.
If you do have an answer I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on it.
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

In a similar spirit to Freedoom, for Quake fans perhaps you'll want to take a look at LibreQuake, which aims to do a similar thing to allow you to play Quake content with completely open source software.
