Linux Foundation Announces New Android and MeeGo Developer Training Courses

 

New Linux Foundation courses reflect increasing demand for mobile and embedded Linux expertise

 

SAN FRANCISCO, February 1, 2011 - The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to
accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced six new training courses dedicated to the
development of Linux-based mobile operating systems Android and MeeGo.

 

Linux has become the dominant operating system (OS) for mobile and embedded computing devices, and
Android and MeeGo today represent two of the leading platforms in this market. Android is the
leading OS for smartphones in the United States and powers millions of phones around the globe.
MeeGo is providing the foundation for next-generation computing devices, from mobile PCs and
netbooks to tablets and mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
 
The Android and MeeGo developer courses will help meet new demands for Linux training and help to
fill open positions at a variety of The Linux Foundation's member companies. These courses will
give professionals lucrative job skills while helping to advance Linux in this space.
 

The Linux Foundation's Training Program consists of corporate, custom, compliance, virtual and
in-person courses. It also includes a free training webinar series. Built in collaboration with the
Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB), which comprises leading maintainers from the
Linux community, the Training Program provides a vendor-neutral, technically advanced learning
opportunity.
 
"We continue to see unprecedented demand for Linux expertise from our members and the industry at
large. The Linux Foundation Training Program gives professionals a unique learning opportunity to
build their resume with the most sought-after skills," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The
Linux Foundation. "We're happy to be able to offer Android and MeeGo developer training to equip
professionals with the best skills to further their careers and to accelerate development efforts
of Linux in the mobile computing market."
 
To help kick off the new series of courses, The Linux Foundation is offering a MeeGo-specific
course at its Linux Foundation Annual Collaboration Summit
(http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-su...). The first 20 people to register
for the following class by March 1, 2011 will receive a special invitation to also attend all three
days of the Collaboration Summit, which is an exclusive, invitation-only event usually reserved for
members and the Linux development community.
