Open Source

Philosophy

Open Source is a software development movement that encourages open collaboration, free development, and the belief that the source code of software should be available to anyone.

This movement has improved the software industry in an unlimited way.

Open Source Community ASU

Open source community ASU is a community started in 2013 by a group of students who were passionate about the ideas of open source, Linux, and software development.

Our vision and duty are to emphasize the importance of using open source tools and developing your soft skills as a way to improve your skills for your career path.

Fun Facts

  • We started with only 7 students (Geeks) in 2013, at Said Abdelwahab Hall, with laptops and banners, telling other students about Linux.

  • We are the first open source community created in Egypt and have contributed to open source events like Hacktoberfest.

  • We are not only a technical community; we also have committees for soft skills and design, such as:

    • Blender 3D Committee
    • UI/UX & Design Committee
    • Content Creation Committee (CCC)

  • We usually hold events and workshops:

    • Get to Git' & Get to Linux' events
    • Linux Distribution Party
    • El Salakhana
    • OSC Summer Training
    • Technical Workshops: Linux, Docker, Game Development, and Web
    • Non-Technical Workshops: Blender, UI/UX & Design, CCC

  • We are the community that created Employment Fair back in 2017. It was held at FCIS back then.

  • We use only open-source tools as a way to emphasize the importance and capabilities of open source tools.
