OpenChemistry is an umbrella of open source chemistry tools that support computational chemistry, materials science, and related areas, including:
Avogadro (avogadroapp and avogadrolibs)
Tomviz
🧪 History
OpenChemistry was started by as a new open source platform built on top of Avogadro - the open source molecular editor, builder, and visualization tool started by Geoff Hutchison and Marcus Hanwell. The vision is to provide a system enabling computational chemistry, cheminformatics, materials science, nanoscience, and related areas with connected software.
At this point, Avogadro is one of the leading molecular visualization and editing tools, with over 1.3 million downloads, over 4000 citations to its academic paper, and translations into over 25 foreign languages.
💸 Funding
OpenChemistry and Avogadro have received limited funding grants in US, but all such support is fixed term, and almost exclusively focused on new feature development. The project constantly needs funds for infrastructure, documentation, bug fixes, and the like, which are rarely supported by grants.
✨ Goals
We plan to use sponsorship income to cover conferences / workshops, infrastructure costs, and to hire software engineers for specific tasks (bug bounties, work-for-hire).
Both Marcus and Geoff have full-time jobs, so funding will hopefully support paying developers to move projects forward, develop educational activities, write documentation, etc.
If, you have existing or planned grant funding that involves Avogadro and would like to support development, educational activities, or other work, please contact Geoff Hutchison to discuss collaboration letters of support.
💵 One-Time Tips
Just want to help out without a monthly contribution? Please consider a one-time donation or suggest a bug or feature bounty.
🙏 Thank you!
Thank you for your consideration and support! Avogadro and Open Chemistry have always been community-supported chemistry software. We can't do it without you.
