Free & Open Source Society
✅ Enabling
Want to contribute to FOSS? Or use free software, but not sure where to start? Sometimes we all need guidance, regardless of whether you’re a seasoned veteran, or complete newbie.
Advocacy 🎛️
With increasingly complex and opaque big tech companies, we’re about empowering people to see, try, and use the better alternatives. Notetaking apps, operating systems, federated social media, running your own server — we cover them all.
🐧 Linux
As a titan in the open source world, of course Linux will feature heavily in our events, from kernel modules to KDE. We also cover other topics, whether open hardware, tech legislation, self-hosting, or anything else.
People 👥
Good people do good work for the good of everyone. Meet with likeminded people in the University and beyond. Form connections and make new friendships. Collaborate with, get advice from, and join our community!
🚄 FOSDEM
Join us on our second annual trip to FOSDEM, the LARGEST conference in the world (full stop). It just happens to focus on Open Source.
