What open-source embedded project you would recommend for contribution
(1/2) > >>

Daily work may not be as fun as open-source and community-driven open-source projects. Especially when your work tasks deal with old technologies/tools. I had the opportunity to contribute to Mbed-os with a few PRs and published a few Arduino libraries before. Mbed-os seems no longer maintained as old days. So I'm looking for new suggestions, especially for projects that are relatively easy to get involved in and are active.

What you would suggest?

If you know software, KiCAD and FreeCAD are two great projects.  FreeCAD is the furthest behind I think, it is getting closer to competing with the likes of Fusion 360 but not quite there yet.  KiCAD can already compete with Altium at a lower level, and is rapidly filling in the feature set for higher professional engineering tasks.

You'd have to supply a bit more information on what specifically you're interested in, is it working on an RTOS (e.g. FreeRTOS), getting embedded-device support libraries working on different systems (e.g. libmodbus), getting non-embedded-device libraries running on an RTOS, ...

Forking Lwip, rewriting the ugly parts and creating good documentation would be a huge service to the community.

You are correct, but I intended to not specify, as I would not like to get biased suggestions. Anything related to embedded software/Hardware including libraries, OS, or sw/hw tools is ok. I would like to check any suggestions although I'm more familiar with C/C++ low-level libraries and new targets support.
