It's been said before but bears repeating: social networking is a feature, not a destination. One service that demonstrates this principle very well is GitHub, which not only lets you keep track of specific repositories a given developer is maintaining, but their activity on GitHub in general. This can be very useful in finding new software, learning about new approaches, and meeting other developers that share your interests.

Over the last few months, I've noticed a steady increase in cheminformatics developers using GitHub. Because GitHub doesn't make it very easy to find them (searching by 'cheminformatics' doesn't turn up much), I thought it might be useful to compile a list of them here. In no particular order, they are:

Giorgi Lekishvili / giorgil

Duan Lian / chemhack

Geoff Hutchison / ghutchis

Rajarshi Guha / rajarshi

Egon Willighagen egonw

Noel O'Boyle / baoilleach

Rich Apodaca / rapodaca

Tim Vandermeersch / timvdm

David Lonie / dlonie

Marcus D. Hanwell / cryos

Christoph Helma / helma

Charlie Zhu / CharlieZhu

Metamolecular, LLC / metamolecular

Andreas Maunz / amaunz

Craig James / cjames53

Syed Asad Rahman / asad

Gilleain Torrance / gilleain
