      • There can be multiple projects!
    • Testimonials
      • A testimonial should be a brief statement of how using/contributing to an OSS project in your discipline improved your work/career!
      • Feel free to include your name & bibliographical info/url, if you want, or leave it anonymous
    • Resources
      • Links to places to find more info.

For additional projects, you can look through the Wikipedia page on free science software.
