Awesome Open Geoscience

Geoscience is awesome.
Open geoscience is even more awesome, so we made a list. This list is curated from repositories that make
our lives as geoscientists, hackers and data wranglers easier or just more awesome. In accordance with the
awesome manifesto, we add awesome repositories. We are open to contributions of course, this is a community
effort after all.
