It’s FOSS is an award-winning web portal that focuses on Open Source in general and Linux in particular.

It’s FOSS was founded in mid-2012 as a hobby project to help desktop Linux users and spread awareness about Linux and open source. As the popularity of It’s FOSS grew worldwide, it was incorporated as an independent company CHMOD777 Media Tech in mid-2018. The term chmod 777 is inspired from the Linux command chmod with parameter 777 which signifies access (to knowledge) for everyone.
