This project has been deprecated and replaced by newer projects. It is no longer actively maintained but remains available for reference. A club management system that handles student details, progress, events, achievements, attendance, status updates, teams and workshop registrations. This is the official FOSS@Amrita website.
It’s been 10+ years now that FOSS@Amrita came into existence. We are a community of students who support and guide each other towards making open source contributions, which not only helps them to build their technical skills but also helps them to contribute back to the society. Being one of the most active student communities of the country, we have made our presence felt all over. We have been getting a lot of exposure & opportunities via different platforms such as conferences & social media to name a few.
Idea / Goal of the club: To be a better human being.
Bug fixing: The first area where you can help is bug fixing. You can look up for the bugs in the ‘issues’. The bugs have been provided with tags to help you classify and work on based on their difficulty level.
Feature Development: Once you get familiar with the code base, you can start contributing to new features.
You can contribute in many ways to the User Experience of the foss website. Be it reviewing current features as a user and giving feedback, designing new features, testing designs or features with users, we are open for suggestions and, we'd love to have your help in the UX group!

Google Analytics Simply put, by far the best way to know our audience, Google Analytics primarily tracks and reports website traffic. Through Analytics, we can monitor how long users stay on our website, what pages/sections they are visiting the most, which page/section is causing the users to leave most often and much more. This would help in substantially improving the performance of the site and improve scalability from the end-user’s perspective.
