FOSS at Technologies skill development awareness campaign in North India
(15th nov - 15 Dec 2016)



ABOUT FOSS :

The fundamental difference between the movements is in their values,
their ways of looking at the world, for the open source movement , the
issue of whether software should open source is a practical question,
not an ethical one. As one person put it “open source is a development
methodology, free software is social movement “ for the open source
movement, non-free software is a sub optimal solution. For the free
software movement,non-free software is social problem and free software
is the solution.Today the young generation is facing challenging times,
While many new opportunities are opening for employment, they also
need new skills and Knowledge.The traditional course at higher education
level are the engines of knowledge advancement but it is job oriented
course related to new area of knowledge and employment which are the
most use full ensuring a bright future for the most deserving young
generation. In this direction,Foss technologies are very efficient, free of
cost ( Licence) and are suitable to even large network systems. Further
there is no need to paid ( Licence )fee for the these technologies, once
the IT user/students are conversant with these technologies, they can easily
take on software projects of their own to earn a handsome amount and
an independent entrepreneur or consultant. They will have no need to
depend upon others for employment.

This unique program is a one of it's kind initiative of the " FOSS"
awareness campaign in North India,which are PUNJAB, HARYANA,
DELHI AND NCR )" 10th Nov-15th Dec 2016, will develop new skills in
