GOSIM

Global Open- Source Innovation Meetup

Created by the Open-Source Community, For the Open-Source Community.

A Global Nexus for Open Source Innovation

The global tech landscape is replete with innovations, and much of its foundation is built upon the ethos of open source collaboration. At the forefront of championing this collaboration stands GOSIM, a platform dedicated to nurturing the brightest grassroots open-source projects from their inception to maturity.

GOSIM emerged from the shared vision of a global open-source community. Organized by and for the community, this entirely volunteer-based endeavor has one prime objective: to provide a stage where innovative open-source projects can shine, collaborate, and evolve. It's not just a platform; it's a movement. One that wholeheartedly embraces an open, diverse, and inclusive culture. If a project is global, innovative, grass roots ,and open-source, it has found its home at GOSIM.

Organized by and created for the open-source community.

Subscribes to an open, diverse, and inclusive culture.

Volunteer based.
