Advocating for localised software and knowledge systems as part of International Mother Language Day - Swecha AP
On the 25th International Mother Language Day, we set out to promote software localization, and access to knowledge in local languages. With the help of our volunteers, we organised events at seven colleges across three days in Vijayawada and one online session to advocate for broader access to technology and knowledge in Telugu. We translated Aaron Swartz’s Guerilla Open Access …
FSHM PuducherryHi 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.

The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.
For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few massive corporations.
