Sangoma Technologies is sponsoring Linux Journal’s Search for the Ultimate
Linux Geek promotion with their over 1,000 Linux Users groups in 97 countries
worldwide. It is an effort to unite the Linux community and to demonstrate
Sangoma’s commitment to the open source technologies.

Perhaps, you may have the Ultimate Linux Geek working at your firm. And if
that person is a member of a local Linux user Group (LUG) and is part of the
Linux Journal’s GLUE network (Groups of Linux Users Everywhere) they can
enter this on-line tournament to determine who is the Ultimate Linux Geek. 

The crowned Champion will win a Cruise for Two on Linux Lunacy to Alaska this
September 13-20, 2003. There you will be able to mingle with some Linux
Royalty, Linus Torvald and others. 

The first round of the contest will take place on July 28, 2003. 30 questions
must be answered fast, so you’ll need to do some research to be prepared.
The fastest 100 correctly answered entries will be eligible for the finals.
 
The Finals will take place on August 15, 2003 to determine the final winner.
Once again 30 different questions must be answered.  The fastest correct entry
will be crowned The Ultimate Linux Geek.  

All questions will be posted on the website of our sponsor: 
Sangoma Technologies Corp.

Please inform all your colleagues about this on-line tournament, it is FREE
for all GLUE members to enter.

Cruise for Two ???

Not only would the ULTIMATE Linux geek not have a girlfriend, but he
wouldn't even want to go on a cruise; the net connectivity wouldn't be
good enough, and he'd have to talk to people in person.

7am??

No self-respecting ultra-geek would even think about being awake at 7am (contest time for US/Pacific folks), unless they'd been awake all night long. (And in that case, of course, they're hardly going to be at their best for a timed contest.)

Post 'em at midnight PDT and let the EDT folks cope with a 3am start time...
