ABOUT THE EVENT

Many technology companies and individuals like us use a lot of open source projects in order to save time and energy. The neglected truth is that only a continuous contribution towards the open source projects will result in their continuous and better use in future.

Viithiisys Technologies is organising an initiative OPEN. with an aim of bringing in a change to the developer world by building a habit that contributes towards multiple open source projects. We are welcoming everyone, not only people with similar backgrounds and the experienced in open source, but, also the ones who are PASSIONATE about it. And as the saying goes ‘Charity begins at home’. Therefore, we start this drive in the beautiful city of Chandigarh and then slowly move towards other parts of India.

OPEN. intent to encourage a passionate sharing culture among individuals in our city.
