Welcome to FOSS@Ulster
This web site is intended to co-ordinate development, distribution and maintainance of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects that originate from the University of Ulster, or otherwise help and assist the open source community in Northern Ireland or beyond. If you have such a project within the University, or beyond, consider registering it for hosting here.
Free Software does not refer to price, but your freedom to use, modify and distribute it. Open Source software is software where the code is available to you, but this does not imply you have the rights to do what you wish with it.
This server is the main development area for u3 software projects, particularly OPUS and the PDSystem.
Besides the software development facilities offered on this server, there are more resources to be found on the wiki.
