We are FOSSCET.

+ +
+
+
+

Our Mission

+
+ +
+
+

Free and Open Source Software

+

+ We're bringing FOSS to CET students—replacing proprietary tools with Linux, GitHub workflows, + and community-driven development. From kernel hacking to UI/UX contributions, we're building + the next generation of open source maintainers. +

+
+
+
+

Student Awareness and Software Responsibility

+

+ While addressing the FOSS movement, we also want to raise student awareness and improve anti-piracy and unresponsible software usage tendecies by providing free and open-source alternates. +

Linus Torvalds releases Linux kernel (1991); BSD variants gain traction post-lawsuits.
