Sun Code For Freedom Contest
The free and open source movement is emerging as the new world order in the technology sector across the world. Today, free and open source products such as Apache Web Server, OpenOffice.org and GNU/Linux have dwarfed several proprietary software products.
Sun Microsystems, a front-runner in supporting free and open source software and one of the largest contributors to this movement, takes this opportunity to invite the young, dynamic academic community of India to come and become a part of this exciting free and open source wave. We encourage all of you to take this opportunity to learn about free and open source technologies and make contributions by developing applications that make use of these free and open source technologies.
Sun Microsystems is happy to announce the Code For Freedom 2008 contest where students across India will contribute to the technologies that are empowering the Participation Age. You will gain valuable industry experience while at college by participating in this contest. And there is more. We in turn will reward you for your valuable contributions towards the free and open source movement.
