History

[edit]

The Nexus Project was formed after the success of a Software Freedom Day Meetup organized by a group of second years students on 14 September 2018. The event was organized under the banner of FOSS Club, SJCET which was left in favour of the name 'The Nexus Project' as the members of the club wanted to inclusive of the idea of free hardware.
