Hi everyone,
FYI, we joined the LOT Network this year. And a profile on us came out in
their newsletter this week. The newsletter is below, for the quick link to
our profile check here:
https://lotnet.com/the-linux-professional-institute-opens-up-the-world/
FYI, we'll be starting partner profiles shortly, too.
If you don't know about the LOT Network: https://lotnet.com/how-lot-works/
in a nutshell, they're a non-profit helping to protect orgs from patent
trolls (and other IP atrocities).
TTFN,
--matt
