@pbilk thank you! I updated the StreamingLiveApp link, added CHUMS, and removed OneBody.

You're welcome. Do you have more sources or connections to other things open-source projects that could be great in a mission and tech context? Like AI, chatbots, evangelism? For my job I am working on collecting resources and this list was a good start.

Edit: Most of the below are out of date and half are non-existent (ie. only a README and a license).

Also possibly useful: https://github.com/topics/church-management?o=asc&s=updated

Great to see this list growing. Now that Elvanto has been bought by Tithley, even the commercial options for church administration seems to be shrinking :(
