About

The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Cell at CMRIT is a student-driven community that brings together individuals passionate about technology, collaboration, and open-source development. It provides a space for students to explore new tools, learn by building, and contribute to projects that have real-world impact. 

• Conduct workshops and technical sessions

• Organize events

• Encourage contributions to open-source projects

• Support students in exploring programs like GSoC (Google Summer of Code)

The FOSS Cell actively promotes participation in programs like Google Summer of Code (GSoC), helping students understand the open-source ecosystem, improve their development skills, and prepare for real-world contributions. By guiding students through the basics of open-source and collaborative development, we aim to make them confident contributors to global projects.

We believe in learning by doing. The FOSS Cell creates an environment where students can collaborate, experiment, and grow together by working on practical projects and sharing knowledge. Our goal is to build a strong, supportive community that empowers students to innovate and contribute to the open-source world.
