NYLXS believes in empowerment through knowledge, and makes a large selection of classes available to the public in an effort to make Free Software more accessible to everyone. While making inexpensive classes available to all, NYLXS offers programs by the best GNU/Linux Instructors in town, who give their time and energy for the public benefit. From desktop usage to advanced networking administration, The Free Software Institute carefully lays out the path for a bright future in Free Software usage and development. It's our greatest hope that those who learn to use Free Software through our series of programs will soon enter the world, and the workplace, as the greatest ambassadors for Free Software by
demonstrating the empowerment it brings to individuals and businesses. |

Kernel Hacking and working :
http://eudyptula-challenge.org/
This "challenge" is a series of Linux kernel programming exercises
starting out small, and in the end, if all goes well, you'll be the
maintainer of a subsystem, if you so desire. Well, maybe not a
maintainer, but you will be qualified enough to point out any problems
that your favorite maintainer is causing, and that's actually way more
fun than being in charge.
All of these tasks will be done through email, and will require you to
write, modify, and submit Linux kernel patches and code of all different
types.
First off, some housekeeping rules.
You have been assigned a "unique" id. This id is required when
submitting your results, as I (a dumb script) need some way to determine
what is going on. So, please, for every email you write to me from now
on, use your id in the Subject: line like this:
Task 02 results
And yes, if you haven't guessed it already, "xxxxx" is your
unique id. Please don't lose it. I can, through some difficulty,
figure it out again, but we really don't want to have to get my human
involved in this process, that only slows things down.
You should be able to just hit "reply" on the task email and all should
be fine, if not, the scripts will notify you.
....
This will alternate with the NYLUG Hacking Meeting that is on alternating
