As
part of our knowledge distribution activities, we occasionally make workshop-style
public seminars delivering a variety of Linux related subjects. Based
on our record, many IT professionals, Linux newbies and users have attended
our seminars. In each and every seminar, we also contribute at least some
30 CD-ROMs of Linux Installers, RHCE and many million bytes of e-docs.
Since we wanna show (more correctly, boast;) you of our achievement, we
have organized the following seminar list for you.
