You may recall from our recent newsletter that the OSL team is organizing a student focused track at the Linux Foundation's upcoming conference, LinuxCon North America 2011. Dubbed Linux Learners Day, these sessions for students will be taught by OSL staff and will focus on fundamentals of Linux, embedded systems and open source community involvement. LinuxCon NA 2011 will take place the week of August 15th in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
Conference registration is now open, and the folks at the Linux Foundation were kind enough to put together several discounted packages for student attendees.
For more details, including how to register, please see the information on Student Programs at LinuxCon NA 2011.
And once you're done registering, don't forget to check out the Linux Foundation's two awesome contests this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Linux. Creative expression on video or cotton welcome!
Many thanks to our friends at the Linux Foundation for their invitation to collaborate on Linux Learners Day and for making arrangements for students to have affordable access the conference and lodging.
We'll see you on the bus to Vancouver!
