Open Source in Education
Be a catalyst for creating a free & viral open source curriculum that does not cannibalize existing revenue and that is intended to reach an order of magnitude more users than are currently trained in introductory-level Red Hat courses. Participate in ancillary educational opportunities as they arise and where associated value is sufficient.
