Ubuntu Linux Certified Professional courses in South Africa

oskanpur — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:00:43 +0000

Obsidian has announced that it will soon commence official training courses for the ‘Certified Ubuntu Professional’ programme. As per the press release on the Ubuntu website, South Africa will provide leading facilities for training of Ubuntu Linux professionals.

Obsidian has announced that it will soon commence official training for the ‘Ubuntu Certified Professional’ programme. Obsidian has concluded an agreement with Canonical Ltd, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu Linux that allows for the company to provide training beginning March 2008.

Robin Edser, Technology Manager of Obsidian comments, “It is fantastic that Ubuntu has reached the level where relevant certified training has become available for Linux professionals. Obsidian looks forward to providing this in the South African market and contributing to the growth in use of Ubuntu Linux in professional applications.”

Obsidian will be providing both Ubuntu Professional Courses 1 and 2, which will assist System Administrators to pass the required Linux Professional Institute (LPI) 101 and 102 and Ubuntu 199 exams in order to achieve the Ubuntu Certified Professional certification. These courses are two of a series of classroom and e-learning courses available for Ubuntu Linux professionals.

An increasing number of corporations worldwide are turning to Ubuntu, the world’s fastest growing Linux distribution, as a solution for their server and desktop requirements. The training ensures that professionals acquire the tools which will enable them to administer those deployments.

“South Africa has made great strides with open source and Linux since its inception and we are delighted by the growth in demand for Ubuntu-based solutions and professionals” says Chris Kenyon, Business Development Director at Canonical. “The Obsidian Grouphas pioneered Linux education and consultancy services in South Africa and is the first to partner with Canonical on Ubuntu certified training in the region. We are confident that they will provide excellent service to a great number of companies and professionals across South Africa.”

Developer collaboration - Canonical launches Bazaar based on Python

oskanpur — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 13:37:14 +0000

Canonical has released the stable version of Bazaar - A Distributed Software Version control system for distributed teams of innovative and open source, modern community based software development.
Bazaar 1.0 has been written in Python software language - a software language that is much in demand and commands a lot of respect in the Open Software community - which sadly is lacking in India presently even though Indian software majors have garnered immense amounts of profits but for strategic reasons are not very happy to promote the spread of free and open source software among Indian schools, colleges and universities due to fear of disturbing their monopolies and business models.
Among the features of BAZAAR are :
1. Software developers who are familiar with ECLIPSE Software development platform, can begin to be very productive as they can learn and use BAZAAR easily and in short learning curve.
2. It is based on stable Python API and is compatible with Python versions 2.4 and above. It already has a set of about 20 Plugins, available for immediate use by communities of software developers.
3. No need for coordination with central code base as Commits can be made independently.
4. Features and fixes can be developed in independent branches and merged into main development trunk at any time. This feature is ideal for teaching distributed software development to students in remote locations of India.
5. Software development can be done in creative models, whether as creative and intelligent individual developers, who contribute more code than others, or as cooperating software teams.
6. Dual level of support is available for the GNU GPL licensed Bazaar as users can buy commercial support, or if their software developers and teams are really world class, they can use freely available and generous shared community support.

2008 New Year Computer Gifts for Indian School Children

oskanpur — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:58:46 +0000

Now that more and more intelligent Indian school, college, university students are beginning to hear and learn about Ubuntu and Kubuntu laptops / desktops from their school friends, who are more enterprising, than even some of the professors of computer training academies in India or some of the more well known branded computer resellers - the time for the Indian summer of Ubuntu will surely be in 2008.

So if you are thinking of buying a latest and modern 2008 New Year computer, with the latest and one of the best operating system softwares, and giving a gift of - gyan, vigyan, shiksha - please do try to not let your own ignorance or the marketing speak of big computer vendors come in between your children and their Ubuntu PC. Just buy an assembled computer from a local computer dealer with the best hardware specifications, download your free copy of Ubuntu or Kubuntu, burn it on a CD and get cracking. Great computing in 2008 in Indian schools and colleges !!

Some government purchasing departments and school purchasing committees will surely have big dharam sankat because they cannot get commissions on the purchase of proprietary, closed source, computer softwares / OS - so maybe they will be busy trying to debunk Ubuntu, without even letting the students try it out for themselves and decide on their own.

But those who are surely interested in gyan, vigyan, vidya - just go to Ubuntu website and download your own FREE and LEGAL copy of the latest and best operating system to hit Indian computer markets in ages. Download Ubuntu. Burn a 700 MB CD. Install on your hard disk. Very very sweet !!
