Project Legacy

What is Project Legacy?

Project Legacy is a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) club initiative aimed at creating a centralized repository of projects that are affiliated with open-source principles. This repository is designed to serve as a valuable resource for students passionate about contributing to open-source projects and for those seeking references for their research or project development. Whether you're a seasoned coder or a curious beginner, this is your gateway to contribute to and benefit from a treasure trove of knowledge and creativity. Dive in, explore, and be a part of something bigger!

Aim
