Apparently good resources are coming our way more and more, lots of former paid for developpers, engineers, medics, researchers, etc., are turning open source now,indipendently or in ad hoc teams.
Maybe due to the age and time availability; for being in pension, and I can see an avalance of excellent resources poured in 3D CAD design platforms, Maps and Charts for flight, navigation or road use for trucks, cars, bicicles and hiking, or for video and audio processing, and many other fields including 3D printing, CNC milling or boat and airplanes construction for instance.
Ever since 2020 layoffs a lot of people learned they don't actually need those corporate jobs, and simply have fun developing open source versions of whatever they used to deveop for a salary.
Now that is a beautifull turn in the economy for the human society, for the desperation of the corporate world that was parasiting us for centuries now.
I admit that from all I can see coming my way open source, I am personally interested in less than 1% generally, and I actually use less than 10% of that 1% due to time limitations, I cannot live and work 50 hours a day to cover them all.
But I do welcome the new trend, working for fun and for the curiousity to see where that project might take you to, no comercial corporate purpose in mind, eventual some personal income to stay afloat, mainly derived from donations or consulting work.
And the scientific and technological progress resulted out of this is astonishing, no corporations in a milion years using the pattenting protection model could of produced this much progress as the Open Source Movement produced in a few decades only.
