Last weekend, I had the honour of attending the remarkable India FOSS 3.0 event. Organized by the dedicated FOSS United community, this annual Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) conference is more than just a gathering; it's a celebration of software innovation and the brilliant minds behind it.
Exploring the World of Open Source
At the event, I immersed myself in the world of open source projects working tirelessly to safeguard our privacy and enhance our daily lives. The event provided a platform to discover fantastic initiatives and get hands-on with swags, stickers, and more.
Enlightening Talks that Redefined "Open"
The heart of India FOSS 3.0 was a series of enlightening talks. "What Do We Mean When We Say Open Source AI?" by Tarunima Prabhakar delved into the true meaning of "open" in the realm of AI, offering fresh perspectives on the terminology. Anupam Guha's session on "The Political Roots of AI Policy" uncovered the profound implications of AI in our society. These talks challenged conventional wisdom and opened new horizons.
Inspiring Speakers and Their Insights
The event featured an array of incredible speakers, including Mujeeb Rahman, Shreya Malvia, Subin Siby, and many more. Each shared their unique insights and contributions to the open-source community, leaving an indelible mark.
