Need of a community space in Bihar
FOSS United builds real, people-first communities. Bihar’s brightest need mentorship and industry experience. We must create a community space there to bridge that gap.
Community used to be real. Now they're mostly marketing tricks. Google's move says it all, they started Developer Student Clubs eight years ago, built trust with students, then quietly renamed them "Google Developer Groups on Campus". Same communities, but now Google's name comes first. That's not community building; that's brand expansion.
At FOSS United, we're fixing this. We build communities that genuinely serve people, not brands. Someone had to take responsibility for real community building, so we did. College, city communities, we go where the need is. Five years of work so far, with no plans to stop.
Bihar may be India’s poorest state on paper, but its people rank among the nation’s brightest. Every district now has an engineering college, yet students lack industry connections and mentorship. That’s why we must create a community space in Bihar to bridge that gap and unlock real opportunities. As a native, this project is as personal as it is strategic.
