Inaugural downtown Ottawa Linux geek-up, Tues, May 24, 5 pm.

Tuesday, May 24 will represent the first after-work meeting of what I'm unofficially calling the downtown Ottawa Linux kernel geek-up. The plan is to meet on a moderately regular basis after work on selected weekdays in downtown Ottawa, and hash out the gory details of some pre-selected feature of the Linux kernel. (NOTE: It's not a general Linux geek-up -- it's specifically for Linux kernel discussion, just to be clear.)

We know

We're aware of the time and budget pressures at most companies, normally accompanied by the plaintive cry from management of, "Yes, I know we need training on that topic, but I just can't afford to send my entire team away for three (or four or five) days to get it!" And that's where we come in.

Choices!

The main focus at Crashcourse is to offer a choice of intense, 1-day, hands-on courses on specific topics in Linux and open source. And given that we already have the laptops for the delivery of that training, the idea is to show up early, set up a classroom, then spend the day teaching exactly the topic you're interested in. No travel time, and no wasted classroom time.

Customization

If we don't already have a course that addresses the topic you're interested in, drop us a note and we'll see what we can do -- our content providers can almost certainly put together a course that's precisely what you're after.

The difference

While there are a variety of sources for Linux and open source training, we at Crashcourse are taking a slightly different approach. Our philosophy is simple: exactly the training you want, and no wasted time or travel to get it.
