Together We Open Source

Background

The simple truth is - not everybody has a privilege of even considering to attend the amazing MIT or Oxford.

Most of us, especially those from underprivileged groups, simply do not have money to study there.

Together, we are going to change it.

We aim to give everybody a chance to progress in the luxurious world of IT, through contributions to #OpenSource projects. The projects must (and will) be aligned with an individual’s values.

Together we Open Source.
