A Collaborative Approach
Creating a publication may involve volunteers, educators, Linux users, developers, system administrators, and industry professionals.
Every contribution helps make our resources more useful and accessible.
At the Linux Association of Canada, our mission is to make Linux, open-source software, and digital freedom accessible to everyone. Every educational resource is designed to help people learn through practical, welcoming, and easy-to-understand content. Like the open-source community itself, our publications grow through collaboration and shared knowledge.

How We Use Artificial Intelligence
Artificial-intelligence tools may assist with research, brainstorming, first drafts, language clarity, translation, and the creation of original illustrations.
AI supports our team; it does not replace human responsibility and review.
Illustrations and Photography
Our publications may contain original photography, screenshots, technical diagrams, conceptual illustrations, or images created with the assistance of AI tools.
Unless specifically identified otherwise, illustrations are intended to explain a concept and do not necessarily depict actual people or events.
AI-Generated Image Disclosure: Beginning today (August 3, 2026), every image created with artificial intelligence will include a stamp in the bottom-right corner reading “Image created with AI.”
Examples and Learning Scenarios
Some resources include fictional or illustrative examples inspired by common situations to make technical concepts easier to understand.
These scenarios represent a real person only when clearly identified as such.
Accuracy matters. Technology changes quickly. Despite careful review, an error, omission, or outdated detail may occasionally appear. We welcome corrections and update our resources when improvements are identified.
Continuous Improvement
Like an open-source project, a publication can improve over time. Community feedback, new technologies, and contributor experience all inform future editions.
Language Accessibility
Whenever possible, we work to provide resources in both English and Canadian French so that learners and communities across the country can benefit.
