[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 and Open Source Software (FOSS). It aims to bring together women around India involved in various FOSS projects, foster participation and share knowledge.

[edit] Our Goal

Our goal is to promote the usage of FOSS 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.
