The Linux Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of the new
Linux.com. In addition to Linux news, product listings, and more,
Linux.com is designed to be interactive; “for the community by the
community.” After you log in to Linux.com with your LinuxFoundation.org
ID and password you can:

 * Gain Guru Points for site contributions and compete for the "Ultimate
Linux Guru" prize: a dream laptop signed by Linus Torvalds
 * Create a group for your LUG or developer group and invite friends to
stay informed. (linux.com/community/groups
<http://linux.com/community/groups>)
 * Add an Event to the Linux.com Calendar. No event is too big or small.
(linux.com/community/events <http://linux.com/community/events>)
 * Post a comment in our Forums to get help with Linux
(linux.com/community/forums <http://linux.com/community/forums>)
 * Ask a question or give a solution in Answers (linux.com/learn/answers
<http://linux.com/learn/answers>)
 * Add a listing or a product review in our Directory
(linux.com/directory <http://linux.com/directory>)
 * Create your own tutorial (linux.com/learn/tutorials
<http://linux.com/learn/tutorials>) or blog entry
(linux.com/community/blogs <http://linux.com/community/blogs>)

When you add content to the new Linux.com, you gain the goodwill and
support of your fellow Linux.com users.  As you participate in the
site's community by providing content, you will gain Guru points that
will enable you to gain Guru status and will help you connect to jobs
and collaboration opportunities.

The top-ranked Linux.com user will be recognized each year as the
“Ultimate Linux Guru” and be given a fully loaded “dream” Linux
notebook, personally autographed by Linus Torvalds, as recognition of
his or her guru status. The top five contributors to Linux.com will be
invited to the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit to participate in
the planning for the future of Linux.com.  The top 50 Linux Gurus on
Linux.com will be included in an annual report from the Linux
Foundation.  More information, including “Guru” point values, is
available on the site at linux.com/welcome-community
<http://linux.com/welcome-community>.

With a blend of the old and the new in place, there's no reason to delay
becoming a Linux Guru. Welcome back to the new Linux.com.
