KOSS, or Kharagpur Open Source Society, is a group of open source enthusiasts who focus on something more preliminary and relevant, “A Love for Coding”.
Every year KOSS plans to hold events for familiarizing students with UNIX tools, Linux environment, Git Development Workflow, besides conducting workshops on GUI programming, Web development, Android application Development and Hackathons.
Team Structure
1. Executive Heads
Members in their late second and early third year
Executive Heads are de facto managers of KOSS. They have complete authority to make decisions, take up initiatives and manage KOSS public relations on Emails and Social Media.
2. Core Team members
Members in their late first and early second year
They actively volunteer to learn and conduct events, workshops, classes, etc. CTMs also learn how to work in a team.
3. Advisors
Members who have been an Executive Head before and are still on campus. Late third year onwards.
They actively suggest better technologies to be used in KOSS. They continuously take updates and make sure the Executive Heads are not over-prioritizing anything and are relaxed. One of the Advisors acts as the Treasurer of KOSS and oversees the finances.
4. Alumni
Members who have graduated from KGP
The role has no formal duties, as of now.
The objective of this thread is to keep FOSS community updated with the activities, events and projects planned, being carried out and maintained by KOSS.
