Fest name: Mukti 2015
Fest type: Annual National level Technical Symposium
Organized by: NIT Durgapur
Important dates:
Fest Date – January
30 to February 01, 2015
Fest details: Mukti, in its 8th year now, is one of the
prime FOSS Symposium of the country. Having attracted major contributions to
the open Source field through the string of workshops and talks, GNU/Linux
Users’ Group, NIT Durgapur strives to make a dream come true. A dream where
everyone, understands the power of Linux in daily computing and liberates
itself from the clutches of proprietary software.
Mukti is the
culmination of that dream. Every year, the FOSS Community comes together in NIT
Durgapur and celebrates the spirit of freedom. We organize developer sprints
over popular Open Source Softwares, all night hack-a-thons, and many talks and
workshops.
Organizing such an
event requires time, effort and most importantly resources to achieve the level
of perfection and to properly channelize the passion that we have for the
betterment of the society. And that’s where you can help us. Being an associate
of Mukti along with GNU/Linux Users’ Group, you benefit from reaching out to a
vast pool of students, young entrepreneurs and excellent minds, and also an
opportunity to connect with the leaders in the industry, who would be gracing
this occasion.
For Mukti’15, Mr.
AmodMalviya, the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) at Flipkart would be gracing the
occasion as the keynote speaker. Also, here are some of the stats from our
events last year:
Codecracker: The
flagship event of Mukti, CodeCracker is a algorithmic programming contest which
witnesses participation from 19 countries and around 5000 users participating
it worldwide. Last year, the prize went to a participant from China.
Online Treasure
Hunt: An engrossing treasure hunt online, keeps the students glued to their
systems, figuring our clues to the next level and ultimately reaching for the
prize. This event had atleast 2000 users accessing the portal at anytime during
it’s 7day run.
Linit: Our annual
technical magazine, is circulated around the country, and your presence in
Linit would help your brand image as well would improve our circulation.
This year, we plan
to go even bigger and even better, while sticking to our roots, which is to
spread the knowledge and advantages of FOSS and enabling people build better
solutions to make the society a better place!
Mukti, which is
being organized from 30th would be much better with your assistance. We hope to
hear back from you soon.
