VGLUG FOUNDATION

The VGLUG Foundation, established in 2013, is a nonprofit organization inspired by the global Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement. As a social initiative, VGLUG is dedicated to spreading the principles and values of free software, aiming to foster knowledge liberation and technological empowerment.

Our mission is to promote the use of free software and advocate its ideological significance across all regions of our nation—from urban centers to the most underserved communities. We strive to bridge the digital divide by educating individuals and organizations about the benefits of free software, ensuring that the advantages of open-source technology are accessible to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

Our core objectives include raising awareness among computer users about the value of free software, facilitating its adoption in diverse sectors such as rural areas, schools, higher education, and academic and industrial research. By promoting open-source solutions, we seek to revolutionize the educational and technological landscape, encouraging innovation, collaboration, and the democratization of knowledge.
