Andhra Pradesh's FOSS Community
Building Andhra Pradesh's open future.
700+ students, developers and educators across 9 campuses — building open-source AI, Telugu computing, and civic tech for AP.
About
FOSS Andhra is a non-profit community that aims at promoting and strengthening the Free and Open Source Software ecosystem across Andhra Pradesh.
Goals 01
Open Knowledge
AI systems in 2026 are trained on public knowledge. We ensure that knowledge stays open — accessible to AP students without paywalls.
Goals 02
Data Privacy
From health records to e-governance, your data belongs to you. We champion community-owned, auditable systems.

Rural AP cannot wait for 5G. We build tools that run on low-end Android and 2G — digital inclusion for everyone.
Open source is AP's advantage.
