= FStival conducted by GLUGOT and GLUG-Madurai = [[http://www.fstival.org/|FStival]] is a Free Software Festival conducted annually, since 2004, by [[http://glugot.tce.edu/|GLUGOT]] and [[http://www.glug-madurai.org/|GLUG-Madurai]] in commemoration of [[http://softwarefreedomday.org/|Software Freedom Day]] (SFD). The objective of FStival is to create awareness of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software|Free Open Source Software]] (FOSS) among the general public of South TamilNadu. Over the years FStival has been a venue where students of various age groups and domains, professionals (of both IT and non-IT fields), enthusiasts and the curious have come together to get introduced to FOSS, interact with each other and share their experiences. Every year, the participants bring in empty CD/DVDs to copy Free Software of their choice from the exhaustive repository at [[http://www.tce.edu/|Thiagarajar College of Engineering]] (maintained by GLUGOT). We will have many stalls in which various Free Software tools are demonstrated. [[http://glugot.tce.edu/|Our website]] ---- CategoryTeam2012
