About Workshop
Free/open source software technologies (FOSST) have shown a remarkably success for its short history which is acknowledged by a large number of organization and the community. The philosophy and methodology of open source software play the main role toward its success and achievements. Its philosophy and methodology have been partially adopted in many software projects over the globe. It is getting momentum these years and many large scale projects are making great impact and having big shares of the market. Registration deadline in April 19, 2010.
