Based at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), our mission is to revolutionize education in India by advocating for and facilitating the adoption of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). We aim to empower students and educators, reduce reliance on costly proprietary software, and build a self-sustaining ecosystem of open-source excellence in academia and research.This GitHub organization is the central hub for the development, maintenance, and distribution of the software projects and educational content we promote and create.🛠️ Our Ecosystem: Promoted FLOSS ToolsFOSSEE actively promotes, develops, and supports a wide array of high-quality FLOSS tools that serve as robust alternatives to commercial software across various scientific and engineering domains.

We cultivate a thriving educational ecosystem through a variety of nationwide activities designed to integrate FLOSS into the core of academic life.📚 Educational ProgramsTextbook Companion (TBC): We facilitate the creation of a massive repository of code examples for standard engineering and science textbooks using FLOSS like Scilab and Python. This crowdsourced effort helps students learn programming and concepts simultaneously.Lab Migration: We provide comprehensive support to academic institutions to migrate their computer labs from proprietary software to equivalent FLOSS tools, ensuring a smooth transition to a FLOSS-only environment.Spoken Tutorials: In collaboration with the Spoken Tutorial project, we create and promote easy-to-follow, audio-video tutorials for various FLOSS tools, making self-learning accessible to millions across India.💡 Community EventsWorkshops & Conferences: We regularly organize hands-on workshops, seminars, and conferences to introduce students and faculty to the capabilities of various FLOSS tools.Hackathons & Competitions: We host exciting events and competitions that challenge participants to showcase their creativity using open-source tools, often featuring attractive prizes and internship opportunities.💼 Career and Development OpportunitiesInternships & Fellowships: FOSSEE offers numerous prestigious internship and fellowship programs throughout the year. These programs provide students with invaluable experience working on real-world open-source projects under the guidance of experts at IIT Bombay.❤️ Join Our Mission: How to ContributeWe are a community-driven project and welcome contributions from students, educators, and developers. Here’s how you can get involved:🗣️ Join the Discussion: The best place to start is our Forum. Ask questions, get help with installation, and interact with a community of experts and users.🐛 Report Bugs & Suggest Features: Found an issue or have an idea for a new feature? Navigate to the specific repository for the tool (e.g., FOSSEE/eSim) and open a new Issue. Please provide as much detail as possible!📝 Contribute to a Project: If you're ready to contribute code or documentation, please follow these general steps:Fork the repository you wish to contribute to.Create a new branch from the develop or main branch for your work (git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name).Make your changes and commit them with clear, descriptive messages.Push your branch to your forked repository.Open a Pull Request back to the original FOSSEE repository, detailing the changes you've made.🎓 Apply for an Internship: Are you a student passionate about open source? Keep an eye on our Internships Page for announcements about our Summer Fellowships, Semester-Long Internships, and other opportunities to work with us at IIT Bombay.<div align="center"><i>This README is maintained by the FOSSEE team.
