Dear applicants

There was a big response to join the program. I'm sure, you won't regret what you'll learn there! wink

I declare the practical deadline to join the module as Monday 11 November 20:00 LKT. The reason is that you will start doing the hands-on exercises on a Linux shell in session 2 on Tuesday, that will run on our server. You need to apply for the account by Monday 20:00 LKT. Joining later makes no point, since you can't complete the module if you don't finish a single assignment.

IMPORTANT: Although a large number of you have requested, and received, an account for the site, not all have joined the Moodle course where the module runs. For that you just need to visit https://edunet.lk/course/view.php?id=28 and enter the enrollment key which is Linux. The late comers have some activities waiting for you to catch up!
 
The link to the next live session on Tuesday 12 November 20:00 LKT with hands-on exercises will also be announced via the course homepage https://edunet.lk/course/view.php?id=28. Make sure that you've found it!

Re: Multiple-session workshop "Free and Open Source Software and Linux" launched LAST CALL

by Admin User (Syndrega) -

LAST CALL to all who have collected a login to join the course "Free and Open Source Software and Linux". To enrol in the course, you need to visit the course homepage at https://edunet.lk/course/view.php?id=28, scroll down and enter "Linux" (without quation marks) as the enrollment key. (see attachment). Considering the large number who are still waiting, the deadline has been extended to tomorrow, Tuesday 12 Nov 08:00 LKT.

In case you have joined but not interested in following the course, please unenroll yourselves before the same deadline. (see attachment) This is an intensively hands-on course where we correct you assignments. If you join but don't do anything, you will be wasting our time. In fact, you can unenroll any time, but tomorrow 08:00 LKT is important since we will take the class list by then and give each a Linux account.

This time the link to the live-class will be distributed only to the enrolled participants at tomorrow 08:00.
