  • Free/Open Source Software Mobile Development Conference/Webcast

    The Free and Open Source Learning Centre (FOSSLC) & FOSS Factory cordially invite you to attend a free mini-workshop about free/open source software (FOSS) development on mobile platforms.

    FOSSLC is a non-profit organization promoting free and open source software. Through a wide variety of means, FOSSLC teaches practical free and open source software skills, shares visionary software perspectives and creates a bridge between academia and the industry.

    FOSS Factory provides an online marketplace that aggregates demand and supply for FOSS projects. In this marketplace people can direct money, time, and skill to enable FOSS projects to succeed.
