[edit] Welcome!

[edit] About Us

We are LinuxChixIndia (LCIN), the Indian chapter of LinuxChix.org. LCIN tries to empower Indian women to use, develop and contribute to the world of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). It aims to bring together women around India involved in various FLOSS projects, foster participation and share knowledge.

[edit] Our Goal

Our goal is to promote the usage of FLOSS and to help women in India to identify the avenues for contribution with various levels of expertise - users, newbies, enthusiasts, subject matter experts, geeks to various upstream projects. To achieve this vision, LinuxChix India intends to establish itself as a platform for knowledge sharing and facilitate women interested in FOSS from around India to talk, participate at events, volunteer, learn, mentor and help each other.
