Policy on adoption of
Open Source Software for
Govt. of India

  • Yaksh Online Test Python

    FOSSEE team has developed an Open Source Python-Django based web application to conduct online programming as well as MCQ based quizzes. It is an online solution to test the practical skills of students in various programming platforms like Python, C, C++, Java, Scilab & Bash.

  • Scilab Toolboxes Scilab

    FOSSEE has taken efforts to raise the level of Scilab toolboxes. Following are some of the toolboxes we are working on: Image processing toolbox, Signal processing toolbox, Communication toolbox, Optimization toolbox, Identification toolbox, Control systems toolbox, Scilab to C toolbox.

  • Python Textbook Companions on Cloud Python

    In order to allow anyone to easily view, modify, and run the Python textbook companions, the FOSSEE team has made these available online. This is done by using IPython notebooks that are hosted on our server at http://tbc-python.fossee.in. This environment allows viewers to use the examples with just a browser.

  • Mixed Mode Simulation in eSim eSim

    NGHDL is a mixed mode circuit simulator developed by FOSSEE, using NgSpice and GHDL. In NGHDL, NgSpice is used to simulate the analog components and GHDL is used to simulate the digital components, where the analog and digital components are communicating through socket.

Projects

Python

Python is a general-purpose, high-level, remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. It supports multiple programming paradigms.

eSim

eSim (formerly known as Oscad/FreeEDA) is an EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design. It is developed by the FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay as an open source alternative to OrCAD.

Osdag

Osdag is a free and open-source software which allows the user to design steel structures using a graphical user interface. The GUI also provides 3D visualization of the designed component and images

DWSIM

DWSIM is an open source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. Helps understand the behavior of Chemical Systems by using rigorous thermodynamic and unit operations models.

OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM is a free and open source CFD toolbox useful to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.

OpenModelica

OpenModelica is a free and open source environment based on the Modelica modelling language for modelling, simulating, optimising and analysing complex dynamic systems.

FOSSEE Laptop

IIT Bombay is piloting a low cost laptop, known as the FOSSEE-Laptop. An affordable 10 inch GNU/Linux laptop pre-installed with educational application and utilities

Sandhi

Sandhi is a free and open-source visual programming language and editor to replace applications built using LabVIEW.

OpenPLC

OpenPLC is a fully open source Programmable Logic Controller creating opportunities for people to study its concepts, explore new technologies and share the resources.

Scilab-Arduino

The Scilab-Arduino interface is devoted to the control of Arduino from Scilab. The interface helps the user to perform embedded systems experiments on Arduino board using scilab code and also through GUI based simulation environment, Xcos.

SBHS

SBHS (Single Board Heater System) is a lab-in-a-box setup useful for teaching and learning control systems.

R

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.

Activities


The FOSSEE Project promotes the use of the following FOSS tools to improve the quality of education and research: We promote these tools by encouraging students and faculty to use them in education and research through the activities listed in this page.



Textbook Companion

The Textbook Companion (TBC) activity aims to port solved examples from standard textbooks using a Free and Open source software.

Objectives:

  1. Make individuals learn FOSS through a practical approach.
  2. Provide a huge database of Textbook Companions as a learning resource.
  3. To make it easy for users of such textbooks to start using FOSS.
  4. To improve the documentation available for FOSS.

This internship is available for the following FOSS supported by FOSSEE:

Scilab
Python
eSim
OpenFOAM
OR-Tools
DWSIM

Lab Migration

Lab Migration aims to migrate labs that use proprietary software to a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) only lab. Colleges can save a large amount of money that is spent on procuring licenses for commercial software by switching to FOSS.

Objectives:

  1. Provide suggestions on the different ways FOSS can be implemented in the laboratory.
  2. Coordinate the migration of the lab to a FOSS only laboratory.
  3. Provide solutions to the lab's problem statements.

We currently offer Lab Migration for the following FOSS:

Scilab
eSim
OpenFOAM

SELF Workshops

SELF Workshops can be held at your institute with the use of ST. We help develop the ST for the FOSS tools we promote. The Spoken Tutorial project is about teaching and learning a particular FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) The Spoken Tutorial project is an initiative of the "Talk to a Teacher" project under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology, launched by MHRD, Govt of India.

Forum

For assistance in installation and use of the Free and Open Source Software, we recommend you to visit the FOSSEE Forum to post your queries. This forum is monitored by domain experts who would attend to your queries. Note: Before posting your questions, you are requested to go through the list of questions already answered. There could be similar queries with solutions already provided.

Workshops & Conferences

We conduct various conferences, seminars, hands-on workshops to introduce FOSS users to various developments in the respective FOSS.Through these events, we also aim to evangelize the tool among new users.
