Why NOSK?
Hear what our members have to say about their experience.
"Before joining NOSK, I was just a student curious about Linux. Now, I'm contributing to open-source projects I use every day. The mentorship and support here are unparalleled."
"I found my first internship through a connection I made at a NOSK meetup. It's more than just a tech club; it’s a career launchpad for students in Nepal."
"The hands-on workshops are fantastic. I learned Git, Docker, and so much more in a friendly, no-pressure environment. It's the best place to learn by doing."
"As a designer, I wasn't sure if an 'open-source club' was for me. I was wrong! I've collaborated on amazing projects and learned how design and FOSS intersect."
"NOSK is the heart of the FOSS community in Kathmandu Valley. The energy is contagious, and the people are incredibly welcoming. It truly feels like a family."
