OPEN SOURCE VIRTUAL
SUMMIT 2022

Event Particulars

We are pleased to share that RamoGnee Technologies is one of the Platinum Partners at the 5th Edition of Open Source Virtual Summit, 2022 powered by Contrast Security on 17th February at 1030 – 1400 Hrs IST. The roadmap ahead for free and open source software in India is pretty well mapped. Just as we know, the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) in its formulation of Govtech 3.0 policies aims at harnessing the potential of social innovators to help solve India’s toughest problems. MeitY has already stated that open source adoption was necessary to support the government’s goal to transform India into a “Digitally Empowered Society and a Knowledge Economy”. The Ministry has taken many initiatives for promoting and fostering the adoption of Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) in view of various inherent advantages like increasing interoperability, developing local capacity/ industry, reducing costs, conserving foreign exchange, achieving vendor independence, enabling localization and reducing piracy/copyright infringements. Union minister for IT, Telecom and Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw once quoted that Open Source Software is the key tool to achieve Digital Democracy within the country. Primarily the aim here is to make people connected to the government and its policies digitally. Some of the largest government projects namely, Aadhar, MyGoV, UPI, Aarogya Setu and many other technology start ups are based solely on Open Source software. All these have one thing in common, transparency, privacy and security and are in sync with India’s policy on Open Source Software.
