| 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

|
| |
| discussed building diverse and inclusive open tech communities, and Vipul A M shared insights

| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
| 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

| |
|
| |
| 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,

|
| |
| The event witnessed over 180 participants from across India, including students, industry

|
| |
| FOSSMeet’25 successfully cultivated an environment where attendees could learn, collaborate,
