OSSMalta - Open Source Society Malta

Malta's Leading Open Source Community, known for knowledge sharing, tech events, and fostering tech growth

A young & dynamic Community group, aiming at liberating the closed circuity of information, and spreading what information is already in reach available to all for general use and to share. but not only on information the group was originally intended to be an "open-source software community" covering topics like linux, bsd and so, this is still very much one of the fundamental goals of the group,

but this time we're open to all, may it be linux, to music, to the way you can capture your free to air channels on your tv, we'll cover it all

🛡️ Is your organization ready for the EU Cyber Resilience Act?

The CRA is a major shift for the tech world, and we want to make sure the Maltese community isn't caught off guard! As honorary members of the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group (ORCWG.eu), we’re helping to break down what these changes mean for local developers and businesses.

We’ve put together a guide to help you navigate the upcoming deadlines and requirements.
