Team leader Mr. C Mahesh, Research Coordinator and and a former student of the college is the back bone of the project. During its journey of 6 years, FFSC has helped FISAT to evolve into one of the major hubs of free software enthusiasts. This student group has been successful in hosting at least one national event in every calendar year, where, developers from all around India share their experiences with the students. The community at FISAT has produced many projects inspired by the Free Software Movement.
