The Houston Open Source Society (HOSS) is a society dedicated to promoting open source software education, development, and support. We profess collaborative coding practices, user-ownership of data and software, and digital civic engagement in the Houston metropolitan area.
Our society is always flat, and free. We’re a voluntary community organization that functions as a democratic egalitarian collective. Money never exchanges hands. We’re not a profit-corporation nor a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we’re just a bunch of Houstonians from all walks of life.
We meet every Wednesday at different locations around Houston. Each meeting features talks and discussions about open source projects, and technologies. We also host collaborative coding sessions, and classes, and opportunities to contribute to important civic technology initiatives.
Hacker, programmer, student or tech enthusiast? Check us out!
