This talk presents an in-depth exploration of FOSS United's (see fossunited.org) mission to galvanize the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement across India. The talk aims to share insights into the initiatives and programs developed to foster collaboration, innovation, and community engagement within the Indian tech ecosystem. Attendees will learn about the challenges and successes of building a vibrant FOSS community, including strategies for enhancing skill development, increasing accessibility to open-source tools, and strengthening industry-academia-government partnerships. The session will also highlight the broader implications of these efforts on promoting digital inclusivity and shaping India's position in the global free & open-source landscape.
Lastly, we will share case studies of impressive open source projects to have come out the broader Indian FOSS Community in the recent years, and how they're taking on global, popular and proprietary alternatives.
Considering a good amount of participants at OpenSearch Con are active open source consumers/contributors, I believe this session will be of use to them to learn more about the existing FOSS ecosystem in India.
Ansh works as the Program and Partnerships Manager at FOSS United, a non profit aimed at promoting the creation and usage of Free and Open Source Software. He is an advocate for diverse and inclusive communities.
