"Freedom means choice. Choice means power. That's why we believe open source is inevitable. It returns control to the user. You can see the code, change it, learn from it. Bugs are more quickly found and fixed. Thus further improving the software"
         - Redhat's essay

What is FOSSkriti?

FOSSkriti is a mini-conference aimed at students in india with the aim of making opensource software more popular. It also acts as a meet for all the developers of OSS among the student body. This year all the workshops, talks, hackfests etc. would be based on the theme "open web". We would be having events touching on topics like browsers, apache, frameworks etc.
