%% About FOSSEE

{\bf What is FOSSEE?}

\vspace{-.1in}

{\bf FOSSEE} stands for \emph{Free and Open source Software in Science
  \& Engineering Education}. The goal of this project is to enable the
teachers and students of Science and Engineering in India to use open
source software tools for all their computational needs, thereby
improving the quality of instruction and learning.


{\bf Where are we?}

\vspace{-.1in}
The project is based at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
({\bf IIT-B}).  We are focusing on Scilab and Python in the area of
Scientific Computation.


{\bf Who funds us?}

\vspace{-.1in} 

It is funded by the {\bf MHRD} as a part of the \emph{National
  Mission on Education through Information and Communication
  Technology} ({\bf NME-ICT}), with the thrust area being `Adaptation and
deployment of open source simulation packages equivalent to MATLAB,
ORCAD etc.'

{\bf What do we do?}
\begin{list2}
\item Design courses to teach the use of FOSS tools.
\item Create content for these courses ---  written material,
  spoken tutorials, lectures. 
\item Conduct workshops to spread the adoption of these tools
\item Conduct conferences to popularize these tools in India
\item Organize sprints to generate relevant material 
\end{list2}

{\bf What can we do for you?}
\begin{list2}
\item Conduct a workshop in your college
\item Send you customized GNU/Linux distributions with all the tools
  installed  
\item Send you written and audio/visual material
\end{list2}

{\bf Why Python}

\begin{list2}
\item Excellent for beginners, yet superb for experts
\item Highly scalable, suitable for large projects as well as small ones
\item Portable, cross-platform
\item Good for Scientific computing but not confined to it. Full fledged programming language
\item Well documented
\item Wealth of 3rd party packages.
\item SAGE, numpy, scipy and matplotlib make it a complete Open Source alternative to MATLAB, Mathematica, Magma and Maple
\end{list2}

{\bf Salient features of our Workshops}

\begin{list2}
\item Easy to learn, recipe based approach designed for complete
  beginners
\item Learn to use Python for Scientific Computing without having to
  learn much of language specific features Python
\item Participation certificate endorsed by IIT-B
\item Free of cost
\end{list2}

{\bf How to get involved}

\begin{list2}
\item Participate in sprints
\item Participate in textbook conversion
\item Review material of converted textbooks
