Linux Tour
Linux Tour is an ongoing tour of Linux and FOSS related conferences and events held in major Nicaraguan Universities and schools.
History
[edit | edit source]The first Linux Tour event was held in Managua, Nicaragua, in the Instituto de Estudios Superiores (IES),[1] on June 4, 2007. The first edition of the Linux Tour 2007 had a total of eight events in the cities of Managua and León.
The Linux Tour was initially an initiative of the Nicaraguan Ubuntu LoCo Team.[2] Today, all the major Nicaraguan LUGs are part of the LinuxTour.org organization, which is also responsible for organizing other major events in Nicaragua, such as FLISOL,[3] Document Freedom Day[4] and the Software Freedom Day.[5]
This initiative was recognized by Linux Journal making reference to it in an article.[6]
In February 2009, the Linux Tour went international, with two events scheduled in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, Honduras.[7] The Nicaraguan Linux Tour events inspired similar initiatives in the region, such as the Ubuntu Tour[8] in Honduras, Café Libre[9] in Guatemala and Pizza Bash,[10] a more informal event, in Nicaragua.
