2021 has been a year of unprecedented global challenges as well as seemingly lasting change. We experienced major shifts in our approach to work, health, and collaboration and witnessed a deepening climate crisis, the development of life-saving vaccines, and swift scientific and technological advances.
As we consider this year in review, we also take time to revisit the successes here at FOSSlife. This year, we sharpened our focus of educating and informing those who are new to the world of free and open source software. In the coming year and beyond, we will continue to provide resources, news, tutorials, and tools to help you take practical steps to build or advance your open source career.
In this article, we feature the five most popular articles published on FOSSlife this year.
