Java@FOSS - 2006
Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) is the term used for software which user can use for any purpose, can study the source code of, adapt it his/her needs and can redistribute it (modified or unmodified).
This year FOSS is being held at Indian Institute of Science (IISC) on 24,25,26 November.
It was formerly known as Linux-Bangalore and used to be hosted by a local linux-user-group, But was later transmuted as FOSS in order to include other OpenSourced technologies under the same umbrella.
With the announcement of Java being Open Sourced, I am anticipating curious and inquisitive crowd at Sun-Java booth.
Visit Java booth to check out some real cool demos and goodies.
Other products being showcased by Sun are OpenSolaris, Glassfish, Derby, Netbeans, OpenOffice, Grid Engine, BeleniX and Portal.
