Mission:

From small beginnings emerge great ventures, and FOSSMeet at NIT Calicut is no different. The world is crying out for people that are willing to take the initiative, people with the will power and desire to succeed in today's world, people with values, dignity and self respect. FOSSMeet is a platform to inspire people towards these lofty ideals, albeit one still in its infancy. We dream of a world where the passion for knowledge exceeds all others, a world where innovation and discovery is the norm rather than the exception. The group of individuals fueling the FOSS Movement sweeping the globe are an invaluable ally in this quest for knowledge. Young, passionate and intelligent, these visionaries are harbingers of the future, members of a vibrant global community established on a platform of deep mutual respect.

FOSSMeet NITC will grow as each year passes, but its true value can only be appreciated by those whom it inspires. This platform is open and unbiased, "FREE" yourself, if you wish. Use it to make yourself heard.
