[About hackerdom : Hackerdom is simply a venue for the hackers of the world to unite and interact and invite the public to participate. The booming Free and Open Source awareness in India is something we are proud of. The Free and Open Source usage and the public participation is highly encouraging in Kerala. A hands-on approach from the hackers to spreading public awareness is what we aim at.

We focus not on the shallow goal of popularity but of the more path of leading people to freedom. We do not aim at just showing off all our cool software, we aim at showing people how using those software and the freedom it ensures has empowered us and how it can empower them too.

Event is a joint effort from computer science students in Govt. engineering college, trichur with free software groups in kerala.]
