The Linux Association of Canada announces the official launch of the Canadian Open Source Library, a national platform dedicated to preserving, promoting, and sharing Canadian open source projects and knowledge.

For years, developers, educators, students, researchers, and organizations across Canada have contributed valuable software and resources to the global open source ecosystem. The Canadian Open Source Library provides a central place where these contributions can be discovered, shared, and preserved for future generations.

Here we go: https://www.linuxassociation.ca/library.php

The Canadian Open Source Library serves as a central hub for Canadian open source projects, documentation, educational resources, and community initiatives.

I hope Canadian businesses and governments can utilize this so they can wean themselves from the big tit of US Tech.

Very nice initiative. However it seems that it is a library of links, not code.

Most/all source is hosted on GitHub. It would be cool if this library can host the actual repositories.

That would be their first order. Get off GitHub.
