*What to Expect:*

*Why FOSS?* FOSS allows you to freely use, modify, and share software with open source code, fostering collaboration and transparency. It offers cost savings (it’s usually free!), flexibility to customize for your needs, and security through community scrutiny, as seen in projects like Linux and Firefox. It also avoids vendor lock-in and encourages innovation through shared development.
