14 DAY TRIAL // Canonical is very serious about its innovative Snappy technologies in Ubuntu and other supported operating systems, and they would like you to join them for a technical introduction to Ubuntu Snappy Core operating system and Snaps.
If you're one of our regular readers, you might know already that Canonical has a slimmed-down version of its very popular Ubuntu Linux operating system, namely Ubuntu Snappy Core, which is designed for deployment in various IoT (Internet of Things) and embedded devices, such as Raspberry Pi single-board computers, or any other smart device you have in your house, such as a fridge.
You should also know about Snaps, as they were recently introduced in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) as a universal binary format to help the spread of various open-source or closed-source applications across multiple GNU/Linux distributions. Snaps can currently run in Fedora, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian, OpenSuSE, OpenEmbedded, OpenWRT, and Yocto operating systems.
"We have been planning to organize a face to face meetup for a while now, and here we are, the first Ubuntu meetup in London is coming," reads today's announcement. "During the meetup, we will have Didier Roche our developer advocate here to discuss topics on Ubuntu Core, snaps and share his experiences developing snaps for IoT, desktops and server… and meet everyone."
Therefore, you are invited to an Ubuntu Meetup event to learn everything there is to know about Snaps universal binary packages and the Snappy Ubuntu Core operating system. Where? At the Blue Fin Building, 5th Floor, 110 Southwark St, SE1 0SU, in London, United Kingdom (UK). Please register now because there are limited seats available!
