Software (FOSS) conference, concluded on a high note, marking two decades of fostering
 
open-source culture, innovation, and collaboration. The event brought together experts,
 
students, developers, and industry professionals to celebrate and advance the spirit of
 
open-source software.
 
The conference began with inspiring opening notes from two legends of the FOSSMeet journey:
 
Dr. Rajagopalan Anayath, a cornerstone of the event since its inception in 2005 until his
 
retirement in 2023, and Praveen Arimbrathodiyil, one of the pioneers of FOSSMeet, who was a
 
final-year student at NIT Calicut when the event began. Their talks took the audience on a
 
nostalgic journey, reflecting on 20 years of FOSSMeet’s history, growth, and impact on the
 
open-source ecosystem.
 
The event featured an array of insightful talks by esteemed speakers from the open-source
 
community. Harsh Lathwal guided attendees through creating a custom Linux distribution, while
 
Jithin B P introduced KuttyPy, a tool for embedded systems programming. Bhuvana Meenakshi
 
discussed building diverse and inclusive open tech communities, and Vipul A M shared insights
 
on taking open-source projects from inception to IPO using Rails. Other notable talks included
 
Open Board Design by Shreekumar, the Free Software Movement by Ajith Kumar, and an
 
introduction to the Legal Aspects of Open Source by Ajshal C A. Het Joshi delivered a
 
compelling session on Privacy-Preserving Technologies, and Anish Anil Kumar provided
 
valuable insights on fostering open-source communities. Poruri Sai Rahul explored the
 
importance of FOSS Policy at both the union and state levels.
 
Hands-on workshops were a highlight of FOSSMeet’25, offering participants practical
 
knowledge in emerging technologies. Topics ranged from Kotlin Programming by Amarjith Singh
 
to an Introduction to eBPF by Madhav Prabhu. Aravind I M led an engaging workshop on
 
Kubernetes, while Dr. Athul Joseph Manual shed light on the intersection of Technology &
 
Palliative Care. Dr. Sunil Thomas T introduced attendees to Software Defined Radios, and
 
Abhinav Garg and Christudasan Devadasan conducted an in-depth session on GPU
 
Programming.
 
Beyond talks and workshops, FOSSMeet’25 also hosted a Linux Super Tux Kart Competition,
 
where participants showcased their gaming skills in an exciting contest.
 
The event witnessed over 180 participants from across India, including students, industry
 
professionals, and open-source contributors. With more than 15 distinguished speakers,
 
FOSSMeet’25 successfully cultivated an environment where attendees could learn, collaborate,
 
and contribute to the global open-source movement.
 
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, speakers, mentors, volunteers, and
 
participants who made this milestone event a grand success. Special thanks to the
 
administration and faculty of NIT Calicut for their continued support in fostering open-source
 
culture on campus. As the curtains close on this landmark edition, we look forward to an even
 
more vibrant future for FOSSMeet and the open-source community.
