Celebrating the Builders Who Power Us All
At RenderATL, we know that open-source isn’t just code — it’s culture. It’s the late-night commits, the pull requests that spark whole new ideas, the libraries that save us all hours of work, and the community that makes tech better for everyone.
That’s why our award show is all about shining a light on the creators who give without asking for anything in return — the maintainers, the contributors, the dreamers who make open-source possible. This is our chance to celebrate you — the builders who push the internet forward, one repo at a time.
Join us as we honor open-source innovators, share their stories, and give them the flowers they deserve. The real reward of open-source? The community that builds it.
The Gathering Spot
We’re celebrating The Commits at The Gathering Spot — the very place where RenderATL was born. This is where we first gathered dreamers, builders, and doers under one roof to imagine something bigger for tech in Atlanta.
Now, as we return, it’s not just to celebrate how far we’ve come — it’s to honor the roots that made it possible, the people who said yes before anyone else, and the community that continues to grow with us.
These awards celebrate the people and projects that make open source thrive. Each category below shines a light on the creativity, dedication, and impact driving our community forward.
We believe in giving credit where it’s due. These are the open-source projects and communities that helped bring this site to life.
