Open Source Software Library

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) publishes numerous open-source tools and datasets for materials science, climate modelling, construction standards, and aerospace research. Their open-data and open-software initiatives are publicly available via the Government of Canada's open resource portal.

The B.C. Design System gives design and software development teams the building blocks to deliver intuitive, accessible digital services.

dwave-system is an API for easily incorporating D-Wave quantum computers as a sampler in the Ocean software stack, directly or through the Leap service’s cloud-based hybrid solvers. It includes DWaveSampler, a dimod sampler that accepts and passes system parameters such as system identification and authentication down the stack, StrideHybridSolver, for Leap’s Stride™ hybrid solver, and others. It also includes several useful composites—layers of pre- and post-processing—that can be used with DWaveSampler to handle minor-embedding, optimize chain strength, etc.

The most popular tool for teams to coordinate mapping on OpenStreetMap. With this web application, an area of interest can be defined and divided up into smaller tasks that can be completed rapidly. It shows which areas need to be mapped and which areas need a review for quality assurance. You can see the tool in action: log into the widely used HOT Tasking Manager and start mapping. This is Free and Open Source Software. You are welcome to use the code and set up your own instance. The Tasking Manager has been initially designed and built by and for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and is nowadays used by many communities and organizations.
