What this repo intentionally does not list
Organizations
There are 180+ GSoC organizations alone each year, plus hundreds on Outreachy/LFX. Listing each org here would go stale instantly.
Use instead: organizations/README.md, gsocorganizations.dev, osprograms.dev/orgs.
Individual hackathons
Thousands of college events run per semester. We list platforms and annual flagships only.
Use instead: Devfolio, MLH schedule, Unstop.
