+\textbf{Free and Open Source Software in Education} (FOSSEE, http://fossee.in)
+provides free support on FOSS (free and open source software) to eliminate the
+use of proprietary software packages in Science and Engineering Education
+across India. The shift to FOSS packages will help educational institutions
+monetarily.
+
+\noindent Following are some important activities of FOSSEE: 
+
+\begin {enumerate}

+Science subjects.

+Migration are given honorarium for their efforts.
