HackConf is an unconference organized by volunteers, who are primarily from IIT Kanpur. The aim of this unconference is to spread awareness about F/OSS and to provide a platform for hackers to present talks/seminars which the participants want to hear! The organizers are aware of the F/OSS scene in India and are working towards making it better by providing a platform for hackers to meet and collaborate.

The mission of HackConf is to make people aware of F/OSS and provide a platform for hackers to connect with like-minded people.

The vision of HackConf is to have a thriving environment for F/OSS development where every individual is aware of alternatives to proprietary software/hardware and is able to hack together a solution for any problem in her daily life.
