About Open Source Software movement
The Free / Open Source Software (FOSS) movement
stands for full freedom for the production,
distribution, modification and use of software as
per the needs and wishes of the user. Only a free
environment with open standards can lead to a
large scale collaborative development of
software, unleashing creativity and productivity,
ultimately leading to lower costs and higher
quality of the software.

About the forum
Looking at the current scenario, we can easily
see that the FOSS movement has already gained a
huge momentum and is expected to grow at a
greater pace in the future as well. Undoubtedly,
it can be said that FOSS is the future of
software development.   With this emerging trend
in the field of software development, we would
also like to contribute to this noble cause. We
would like to join the race of the open source
and benefit from the community as well as
contribute to the community.
