The talk briefly explains about the history of Open Source trend and provide a subtle overview of the concept of Open Sourcing Technology. As we know, Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance but there is much more to that. We will lucidly talk about if "Open Source" just mean something is free of charge and what is "Open Source" beyond software. It will also provide with the insights on how to get into Open Source and how to get started with Open Source project for beginners.
