FOSSEE Summer Fellowship 2024

Introduction:

The Osdag team at FOSSEE is looking for enthusiastic fellows to join the development team and work on challenging problems that will help them gain professional experience of working in software & web development. 

We are looking for fellows who are proficient with object-oriented programming (specifically Python and related libraries). Please find the screening tasks below for projects under our team.

We have openings in two projects under the Osdag Team.

About Osdag Desktop Application:

Osdag addresses several key needs and challenges in structural steel design, particularly in the context of Indian standards and practices. We aim to democratise steel design by offering a free and open-source software (FOSS) solution. This makes it readily accessible to students, educators, and professionals, fostering knowledge sharing and community-driven development.

Osdag was initially developed as a software program to be installed and run on individual computers. Later, to increase accessibility and reach a wider audience, a web-based version, Osdag on Cloud, was created.

About Osdag on Cloud:

Osdag on Cloud is a web based free/libre and open-source software (FOSS) for the design (and detailing) of steel structures, following the Indian Standard IS 800:2007. It allows the user to design steel connections, members and systems using a graphical user interface. The interactive GUI provides a 3D visualization of the designed component and an option to export the CAD model to any drafting software for the creation of construction/fabrication drawings. The design is typically optimized following industry best practices.
