As part of its pioneering intellectually developmental activities,we the Computer Society of MIT are proud to present “CARTEBLANCHE 10” the college’s mega event promoting the cause of Free/Open Source software. This event which was started in 2005 saw huge responses and instantly was a hit with the open source community in India.It has been providing a platform for the budding software engineers from across the country to display the prowess in the various fields of computing with a special importance towards open source.

The event is supported by the Indian Linux Users Group, Chennai( ILUGC),National Resource Centre for FOSS, Computer Society of India (CSI), AU-KBC Research Centre and IEEE Computer Society. Formerly titled 'Linux Demo Day', it evoked tremendous response both from the public and the student community. In the past three years, Carte Blanche has grown into a one-of-a-kind technical symposium with special events like Linux demos, workshops, lectures, free software distribution, as well as conventional Programming contests, Debugging and hacking contests, Online contests, Debates. Whatever be the event, our theme is the same!! Free software!!

Free/Open Source Fiesta

"I thank all the students who have helped to hold the Carte Blanche event.Teaching other students and the general public,to appreciate the freedom that free software provides is vital if freedom is to prevail.

The social mission of a school is to teach of a free society. In the computing field, this means teaching them to be users of free software. The entire university ought to do this.

Your dedication can bring this about."
