"Give the Gift of Linux Foundation Memberships to Needy Students". This is the title of post on Intel's Software Network blog, and we are happy to echo the sentiments.

Dawn Foster highlights an initiative from the Linux Foundation whereby new members can also specify a student to receive membership (or allow the foundation to select a student off their own list). It's a 'Get One, Give One' promotion, as it were.


According to the Linux Foundation, new individual members can elect to sponsor a student on the Linux Foundation website or can request the membership be given to a friend or family member. (The student will be required to show proof of student status in the form of a valid student ID).

What are the benefits of membership? The website states:
Members have access to exclusive benefits, including a Linux.com email address (ex: joe@linux.com); a Linux Foundation t-shirt, employee purchase pricing from major PC makers (Dell, HP and Lenovo); 35% off O'Reilly books and ebooks, a variety of deep discounts to attend events or subscribe to industry publications; and the ability to run for a Linux Foundation board seat, among others.
