FOSS Club

The world of FOSS (Free & Open-Source Software) believes in giving “Power to People”. It gives freedom of innovation to the programmer by providing an opportunity to enhance and analyze open-source code, which enables him in developing and customizing user specific environments with ease.

Acharya Narendra Dev College firmly believes in the adoption of Free Open-Source Software (FOSS) as an instrument of inclusive digital education and breaking the shackles of restrictive li-censing policies in education. In order to keep with this goal, the college has been regularly con-ducting hands-on workshops since December 2007 to introduce Linux and FOSS to students, teach-ing & non-teaching staff.

The philosophy of Free and Open-Source Software goes a long way in building career of students and shaping their lives. A lot of our students have joined companies like IBM, ORACLE, FACE-BOOK etc. which also work on open-source projects. Our ex-students have expressed their grati-tude in being part of a college where students are provided with an environment for learning FOSS at an early stage. FOSS has a long list of advantages out of which security is ranked the topmost. Students feel that working with FOSS is always beneficial as it has a large community support through which they can gain assistance in solving any problem faced while developing code.

The FOSS Club of the Department regularly organizes hands-on workshops on Linux and FOSS for the staff and students of ANDC. The main aim of the Club is to foster the principles of Free and Open Source. Besides faculty members, these workshops also see students acting as resource persons thus, furthering the FOSS philosophy of learning and sharing. Following are the details of activities conducted under the club in last few years:
