SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://searchwing.org/ Search&Rescue Drones

https://gitlab.com/searchwing

SearchWing is a german based (berlin,augsburg) open source hard- and software project which designs, build and operate fixed wing drones for search&rescue operations on the open sea. We mainly operate in the mediterranean sea in cooperation with other NGOs, who actually operate rescue ships to search for people in distress and rescue them before they drown. Currently we are ~8 people, and we are working in our free time on this project.

As we are a full stack project we search for a lot of volunteers and we basically need help in every domain:

* software: python, nodejs, vuejs, c++, ROS, imageprocessing/deeplearning boatdetection, postgres, ...

* hardware: pcb design, thermalcameras, rgbcameras, wireless connectivity (wifi, ELRS), microcontrollers, raspberrypi

* airplane design / mechanical design: construct planes for long endurance

* project management: very open for people to steer, control and plan with us

* airplane building: we need also people helping us build all the planes

petrosiliuson DJI drone flight log viewer

Nice such a tool appears up here. There is still lots of unsolved problems in the open source space of drones.

We are currently developing a open source flight log database & plotting tool for ardupilot logs (graphs, maps, stats, images using PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Next.JS) covered by the german prototype fund (sorry german only link) : https://prototypefund.de/project/searchwing/

Maybe this is also helpful for others.
