My Experience In Conference:
TossConf 2026,it is a tamil free open source software conference,scheduled for 3 days. It was held on 3 days from 23/07/2026 at st.Joseph's Institute of Technology, chennai.
Three Days:
Day-1- Hackathon:
- its a coding competition with 20 problems statements. Teams built and presented their solution.
Some of them in my mind:
A project which solves a news papers words mistakes like misalignment,misspacing,etc..they used to built it for theekathir a tamilnews paper.
A project which helps the students or peoples who use mobiles to read books or documents, To prevent them from distraction(social media doomscrolling) by actively monitoring their activities.
Day-2- Workshops:
- A hands on technical training session conducted on 2 tracks simultaneously with 4 different titles for the entire day.4 titles are Frappe Framework,The Art of Crafting software.
Frappe Framework:
- Frappe is a fullstack,low code python/js webapp framework which is morely suitable for bussiness related application.this session showed the architecture and how to contribute to its open source code base.
The Art of Crafting software:
- This session was about how to write clean,maintainable,well-designed code rather than a specific tool/framework. And it also showed what a employees and organizations should and shouldn't do.it shows you should apply simple questions like what,who, why,how, etc.. almost every part of your life because they are the simple things so everyone refused cuz its simple but they are the common solution for most of the failures.
Day-3- Talks & stalls:
- Two parallel tracks of 45 minute technical talks and FOSS project stalls/boooths people can walk around and visit.I explored these stalls linux installation,openstreet map,libreoffice.
_openstreet map_ : its the open source map which is an alternate for google maps.
_libreoffice_ : it is also a open source software which is an alternate for ms office. it can support for all os.
