Software Freedom Day
Join us on Software Freedom Day (SFD), organized by Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC) with support from Gnome Nepal, to celebrate and promote Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in Nepal through exciting talks, panel discussion, and networking opportunities!
Free And Open Software
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) refers to software that anyone is freely licensed to use, copy, study and change in any way that they want, and the source code is openly shared so that people are encouraged to volunterily improve the design of the software. Use of free software encourages learning and sharing what we have learned with others in the community. Other benifits of using FOSS would be to decreased software cost, protecting privecy and providing more control to the users.
KUOSC
Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC) is the Open Source related wing of KUCC. It is a vibrant historic community from Kathmandu University which provides a common platform for all FOSS enthusiasts to discuss, share, and learn about free and open source softwares. KUOSC is specifically focused on all the Open Source related activities ranging from training programs like Linux Talks, Useful Network Training to advocacy activities like Software Freedom Day celebration and organizing different community level workshops and events.
