It’s Free
and Open.

Nope, not like free beer at an open bar. It's much more than that.

What is FossMeet?

An annual gathering to celebrate the freedom in FOSS featuring exciting events, workshops, and brilliant speakers.

Why are we conducting it?

We believe in collaboration for the growth of technology and society.

" When a project is opened up, there is rapid and continual improvement. With teams of contributors working in parallel, the results can happen far more speedily and successfully than if the work were being conducted behind closed doors "

-Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux and Git

Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as socitey is free to use the results.

-Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Movement
