Greetings,
FStival is a Free Software Festival conducted annually, since 2004, by
GNU/Linux User Group of Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai
and GLUG-Madurai in commemoration of Software Freedom Day. The
objective of FStival is to create awareness of Free Open Source
Software (FOSS) among the general public of South Tamil Nadu. Over the
years, FStival has been a venue where students of various age groups
and domains, professionals (of both IT and non-IT fields), enthusiasts
and the curious have come together to get introduced to FOSS, interact
with each other and share their experiences. Every year, the
participants bring in empty CD/DVDs to copy Free Software of their
choice from the exhaustive repository at Thiagarajar College of
Engineering (maintained by GLUGOT). We will have many stalls in which
various Free Software tools are demonstrated.
This year we have planned to have talks as well, on Free Softwares and
all are invited to give one :)
This year FStival is celebrated on SFD - September 17, 2011 at
Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai. All are invited and
welcome to be a part of FStival and celebrate freedom. More
information can be found at - http://fstival.org and

M. Varadharajan
