The Linux Jobs Report, year after year, shows demand for Linux professionals growing while hiring managers struggle to find enough talent to support open positions. Over the last year 300,000 students signed up for the free Introduction to Linux Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) created by The Linux Foundation and offered through the edX platform. Both demand and interest in learning Linux is high. The Linux Foundation this year will offer a combination of courses and learning opportunities to increase access to Linux knowledge and accelerate the career paths for systems administrators and developers.

“The best way to address the skills shortage in the Linux community is to provide a variety of ways for people to learn Linux and to access the knowledge they need to advance their careers,” said Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin. “The Linux Foundation will continue to explore new ways to deliver Linux learning materials, and increase opportunities for professionals who want to advance the world–s largest collaborative development project.”

The Linux Foundation will offer in 2015 more in-person classes in the US and Europe to increase access to the most popular Linux Foundation courses, such as Developing Device Drivers for Linux, Linux Network Management, Linux Performance Tuning, and Linux Security. These classes often fill up quickly, so an increased frequency will enable more students to access this important training material. The Linux Foundation will also continue to offer courses during Linux Foundation events around the world, such as LinuxCon and CloudOpen, enabling attendees to get the benefits of attending a conference, as well as a dedicated training course, in a single trip.

Other popular courses, such as Linux Security, Linux Performance Tuning, Embedded Linux Development with the Yocto Project, Linux KVM Virtualization and more are also available for enrollment now. The full schedule of courses can be found at .
