hSenid Software International, an active participant and a contributor for the open source software development, will be one of the sponsors at the National Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) week to be held at the BMICH from September 5 to 11.

CEO hSenid Dinesh Saparamadu said that they contribute heavily for FOSS as it is one of the upcoming and future trends, and it helps the open source community to develop exceptional products.

The hSenid team for the FOSS has strengthened its relationship with the Lanka Software Foundation which is a non profitable institution dedicated support open source software developers and projects with infrastructure, funding, motivation, research, consultancy training, development and other enabling facilities which are very important factors, he said.

Open source is a result of a long-time movement toward software which is developed and improved by a public collaboration and is available for the programmers on the internet to use modify, improve, adapt, redistribute, and fix bugs, which evolves into exceptional product.

Developments of such products are at a rapid pace than for conventional proprietary product development.

The rational for this movement is to produce more useful and bug free products for everyone to use, Saparamadu said.

hSenid has contributed to the development of web services stack (Mirae) for J2ME mobile platform an open source implementation of jsr172, which provides the capability of accessing web services to the mobile platform and also developed the camp registration web component for the web site for tsunami affected victims which helps to find out the accommodation status of a refugee camp, current resources in hand and other essential items required for the camp.
