It has been an incredible year for Linux. I can't possibly list every amazing milestone but here are a few that we won't soon forget.
It has been an incredible year for Linux. I can't possibly list every amazing milestone but here are a few that we won't soon forget:
* Linux kernel 3.0 released [1]
* Android surpassed iOS globally
[1]
* IBM celebrated its centennial
[2]
* The cracking of kernel.org [3]
* The release of Amazon's Kindle Fire [4]
And, last but not least, the Linux operating system turned 20-years-old [5] this year. We don't let any excuse to party pass us by so we hosted a 20th Anniversary of Linux Gala [6]in Vancouver, B.C. at LinuxCon [7]. It was a grand party attended by many, including Linux creator Linus Torvalds.
We want to offer one more chance to secure your memento from this important year, so we're hosting a Linux Trivia game through the end of 2011. Each week, we'll post a Linux Trivia question on our Twitter [8], Identi.ca [9], Facebook [10] and Google+ [11]channels. Reply with the correct response and be entered into a weekly drawing to win two 20th Anniversary of Linux T-shirts.
The correct responses to each question will be found on Linux.com [12], LinuxFoundation.org [13] or...in your head. Trivia questions will be posted every Wednesday around 11 a.m. PT. The game begins today and will run through December 28, 2011.
Here's to celebrating an incredible year!
