Fellowship @Sarai:
FLOSS Fellowship Final Presentation
Date: 9th and 10th of August
Venue: Seminar Room, CSDS
The Independent FLOSS Fellowships enable programmers to research and develop different kinds of open source software-based applications. Typically, these are projects of concrete and practical value, especially for social and educational ends. They are also the kinds of projects that would not usually find support in formal, institutional or market-driven settings, either because of the intent / nature of the goal or because of the 'open' nature of the knowledge thus produced/created.
The FLOSS Fellowships seek to tie software developments into existing requirements for software within the social sector, and support the writing and dissemination of well-researched technical papers in key areas of research.
In 2007, Sarai had a total of nine fellowships awarded, in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation which funded six of the scholarships. Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) provided support for work in the specific area of computing, and localisation in five Indian languages, namely, Assamese, Hindi, Kashmiri, Oriya, and Urdu.
The summary workshop-presentation is a forum for fellows to present their work to the larger community. All are invited to take part in enriching discussions.
