This repository provides a curated list of resources related to optics and photonics, with a particular emphasis on open-source projects for the community. It is still a work in progress (WIP). Although I started working on these topics hands-on some time ago, but I have publicly published this repo before my BoF session at FOSDEM 2026..
Please note: There is another very helpful open-source repository that I have found very useful and to which I have also contributed once. However, this repository aims to address gaps in that repository and include additional resources beyond what the other repository covers.
