Are you a multimedia arts practitioner ready to make the leap to free
and open source software (FOSS)?

Studio XX is hosting a series of workshops based on open source tools
for artistic creation. The series starts with an introduction to the
Linux operating system then focuses on practical software for graphics
and audio processing along with 3D imaging.

Workshop details:
Studio XX seeks to educate 12 artists about the Linux operating system
so they can produce their artwork using Open Source tools.

1) Linux Course (12h)
These sessions will demystify the Linux operating system and expand on
