Amazing 20 Years Of Linux ... Party is every where in Linux Foundation


The Linux Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation tasked with the promotion and the growth of Linux by marshaling the resources of its members and the open source development community, is celebrating 20 years of the infamous open source operating system Linux
.

Linux was first made public back  in August of 1991 by Linus Torvalds, who himself is now a part of the Linux Foundation and is being sponsored by the foundation.

In the celebration of 2 decades of success, the foundation has released an info-graph and a video along with the launch of a video competition named 2011 Video Contest: the 20th Anniversary of Linux whose winner would be judged by the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, himself.

The winner will receive free air fare, registration and hotel expenses to attend one of the following events of their choice:

LinuxCon North America
LinuxCon Europe
SXSW 2012
The LA Film Festival
Check out further details of 2011 Video Contest: Celebrating 20 Years of Linux.

This is the third such contest hosted by the Linux Foundation which is actually an evolution of the original “We’re Linux” video competition.

The foundation has also released a Linux Anniversary badge for embedding purposes
