Under the insightful guidance of Mr. Gautham Nagendra, an engaging FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) seminar unfolded, offering participants a comprehensive understanding of what FOSS truly represents. The event helped us comprehend what “free” or “libre” meant in FOSS. Everyone uses free software, whether directly or indirectly. FOSS stands for user freedom, collaboration and community, transparency and security, ethics and autonomy, and avoiding reliance on a single provider or organization.
During the seminar, popular tools such as Linux, KiCad, Blender, and GNU Octave were discussed, providing attendees with a whole new perspective on FOSS. The interactive approach of the seminar empowered participants to immerse themselves in the principles of free software and understand its applications in various fields.
Overall, the seminar provided all young software enthusiasts with greater clarity and insight. It attracted considerable attention and concluded as a resounding success. A heartfelt commendation is extended to Mr. Gautham Nagendra for orchestrating such an enlightening event, and to all those involved in making it possible. We eagerly anticipate more engaging opportunities and workshops from the community in the future!
