Project Registry

The Project Registry tracks open source projects at GW

Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to register publicly available projects to help us recognize and strengthen our GW open source community. To be eligible, a project must be shared under a standard public license (OSI-approved license for software, Open Data Commons or Creative Commons license for data or other works, or public-domain dedication). Projects should also align with the Open Source Definition or the Open Definition, as applicable. These definitions emphasize interoperability, open formats, and allowing the creation of derivative works.

Colonial Courses

Project Lead: Michael Rossetti

Colonial Courses makes it easy for students to know which courses are being offered in a given semester. Users choose a semester and input a list of departments, and the app provides an export of course registration information in CSV format.

SimLogger

Project Lead: Joseph Kilgore

A method for logging simulation data in an easy and clean format. Never worry about losing data again, and always be prepared for when your PhD advisor asks "but what does this variable do across the simulation".

PyGIS

Project Lead: Michael Mann

This book will introduce you to the methods required for spatial programming. We focus on building your core programming techniques while helping you: leverage spatial data from OSM and the US Census, use satellite imagery, track land-use change, and track social distance during a pandemic, amongst others.
