Shining a light on Pune’s FOSS communities

Credits

As WordCamp Pune is only 2 weeks away, we wanted to shine some light on the open-source friendly places and communities around Pune.

First we want to do a shoutout to Pune WordPress Knowledge Exchange. 

The meetup group behind this WordCamp, we love spreading the word about WordPress as a publishing platform.

Here are some other open source friendly communities around the city of Pune.

  • Mozilla Pune – While mozilla is more famously known for its browser, these group of individuals looks into various aspects such as privacy, security, javascript, scalable apps. , front-end and back-end development using foss tools.
  • PythonPune – While there are more than a few groups on and about Python, this is one of the larger communities.
  • Reserved-bit hackerspace – It’s a hackerspace so deals in both free software, especially linux kernel meetups, sometimes meetups on gcc or ulibc and has a place where people could hack on electronics using Arduino or Raspberry Pi, beagleboard etc.
  • ReactJS and Friends – While there are at the very least 3-4 groups or more about Javascript Technologies on meetup.com.
  • Technowise – The meetup topics are varied and interesting and touches on many interesting and varied foss technologies
  • Agile Testing Alliance – Pune Chapter – While strictly not a foss platform, Agile testing is a methodology increasingly used by many FOSS developers and FOSS teams to give more value to businesses and business solutions. Most of the workshops are around FOSS products .

I am sure there are more and drop them in your comments.
