Spreading knowledge… unrestrained

Free Open Source Software (FOSS) is software which is liberally licensed to grant the right of users to study, change, and improve its design through the availability of its source code. It helps in technological development of the society by making open source softwares available.
The Green tree symbolizes the Open Source Software movement which is growing steadily and as time passes its roots are spreading so as to involve software developers from around the globe to contribute to the growth of Open Source Software community.

The Compact disks symbolizes the software which is being developed by the efficient coders involved in the open source software movement throughout the globe.

The bi colored leaves of this tree indicate the technological development and the society. The society is developing technologically and the technology in turn is helping the society to reach a higher stage of development.
The birds in the logo indicate Freedom; in terms of software developers it indicates the freedom of sharing and collectively developing any computer application that is useful for the society in general.
The penguin, java cup and the symbol indicate the technology which is developing day by day under the ever green branches of this Open Source Software tree.
