About ConclaveOpen Source is a revolutionary idea in today's world, in which software and applications are provided along with their source code and is free of cost. The former provides the advantage of modifying or rebuilding the source code so as to create or model the software in such a way that it suits the user's needs or is better than the previous versions of the software. 'Nobody's perfect', Open source follows this ideal and allows people other than the original programmers to think and improve upon the concepts on which the software think and improve upon the concepts on which the software was originally built. The latter helps in providing technology to all transcending social, economical and political barriers. In a nutshell , Open Source is an initiative that aims to provide free and modifiable technology to all, thus helping in spreading the technology and allowing the software to evolve to a better level using the ideas and changes provided by the people using it. Taking this initiative forward, this year's objective is to spread more and more knowledge about this radical concept among the major changers of the modern world- the Youth.
