• The OpenHUB team - freeIT is composed of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) enthusiasts in the SOCKSARGEN area. It is composed of students, faculty, government officials and businessmen.

Our goal is to promote FOSS in the area by inculcating the FOSS advocacy in as many participants as possible. We hope to get the attention and cooperation of the business organizations and the local government.
