Hi everyone 👋

It's time to do #Introductions. We are an organization composed of students & working professionals who propagate the principles of #FOSS, #DigitalPrivacy & #DigitalCommons among students in the union territory of #Puducherry, India.

We have been functioning as a #GNU/#Linux users group (#PuduvaiGLUG) since 2011 with guidance from @fsftn and then matured into a registered society of our own.

Here is what we do,

👉 We approach educational institutions in and around Puducherry and help them set up & nurture a #GLUG in their institutions. The GLUGs within each institution are responsible for propagating our stated principles and help them step into the FOSS ecosystem.

👉 We also organize an annual FOSS conference in Puducherry & discuss the state of digital commons here and ways to improve them.

👉 We strongly believe that public institutions should adopt #FOSS & #OpenStandards in the public interest. We also contribute data to #OpenStreetMap, #Wikipedia & #BeaconDB projects.

👉 We track the state of public infrastructure in #Puducherry by mapping them in #OSM. For example, by mapping street lights, bus stops, public toilets, drinking water, etc.

👉 We demand the UT & Union govt. to safeguard citizen's fundamental right to privacy and bring data breaches to their notice. We campaign for an inclusive digital society.

👉 Some of our members also build and release their own FOSS projects. We also organize #Mapathon & #Hackathon to contribute to digital commons.

👉 We strive to bridge the #DigitalDivide through FOSS & Commons. We demand the state to strengthen the public telecom & Internet provider #BSNL and it's infrastructure.

Together, we build a movement to actively shape our day to day digital experience & strive to improve the quality of life for everyone 🫰

"Enabling consensual technology for the masses", that's our motto.
