obscuraopengroup: a blog by the member of the obscura

libre means freedom. freedom to create , use and modify with out any body restricting. freedom is never granted but awareness is absolutely necessary if one has to use it. open source is to software what democracy is to a country or world. this movement has gained a huge momentum worldwide but unfortunately in lot of parts of the world there is no trace of its existence. we are a group called obscura based in mysore which is around 2hrs drive from Bangalore.we work on open solaris.we are also evangelists of the open source movement.during our interaction with our peers we observed a lack of awareness of open source or even if they knew lack of confidence to participate kept them away from this movement.We were thinking of a way to reach a large portion of this peer group through a smart effort that when we came up with the idea of conducting a fest where we hand picked certain technologies and give them enough knowledge and confidence to get them to contribute to these technologies there by giving birth to libre.
