Hands on Training
While we all know the benefits of working upstream, it can take time to understand how best to participate and feel confident working directly in open source communities. Since 2010, Linaro has driven open source software development on Arm. As a result, we are well versed in working with the open source community.
Linaro Developer Services have expert level knowledge of the wide range of open source licenses currently in use in open source communities and can provide license audits and recommendations in order to help companies eliminate risk and move to compliance. We have deep experience reviewing customer’s code before submission to communities to facilitate faster acceptance. Our priority is to ensure companies are benefiting from the best open source has to offer.
In addition to our role as open source consultants, we also provide advice and hands on Linux training to customers to help them significantly improve their working relationship with open source communities and successfully achieve their goals.
Linaro Developer Services provides customised training on a variety of topics. Moreover we provide expert instructors who are real world engineers and are specialists in delivering hands-on training across Linux and Arm technology.
