Welcome to the Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC), a thriving and historic community from Kathmandu University dedicated to promoting and embracing the spirit of Open Source.

KUOSC is the Open Source-related wing of KUCC (Kathmandu University Computer Club), where we bring together passionate FOSS enthusiasts from all walks of life. Our community serves as a common platform for students, developers, and technology enthusiasts to come together, collaborate, and contribute to the world of Open Source software.

At KUOSC, our mission is to foster a vibrant ecosystem of Open Source technology by promoting the principles of transparency, collaboration, and community-driven development. We believe that Open Source is not just about sharing code; it's about sharing knowledge, ideas, and opportunities for everyone to grow and thrive.

• Training Programs: We offer a diverse range of training programs and workshops, including Linux Talks and Useful Network Training, to equip our members with essential skills in Open Source technologies.
• Advocacy Activities: We actively participate in various advocacy activities, such as celebrating Software Freedom Day, organizing community-level workshops, and spreading awareness about the importance of Free and Open Source Software.
• Communities Under KUOSC: We have several vibrant communities within KUOSC, each catering to specific interests and technologies. These communities provide an opportunity for enthusiasts to explore, learn, and collaborate. Let's take a look at them:
