Despite the resent FUD campaign that Micro$oft has launched against Free and Open Source Software they seem to be supporting FOSS at the same time by sponsoring FOSS advocacy events such as FOSS-ed, look for the "Gold Sponsors" at the end of the page.

These events are organized by the Sri Lankan FOSS community (FOSS.lk).

Some of the past events:

* FOSS-ed On Wheels (taking FOSS-ed outside of the capital) http://www.foss.lk/events/2007/feow/kandy
* FOSSSchool (Aimed at educating school children and university students)
* ApacheCon Asia 2006 (first ever ApacheCon held in Asia) http://www.asia.apachecon.com/
* FOSSEnterprise (Educating the public and private sector CIO/CTO community of Sri lanka)
