SUMMARY:LPI Media Partner of OpsJam 2027 at UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:January 16-17\, 2027\nUniversity of California\, Irvine\, California\, United States\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to serve as Media Partner for OpsJam 2027\, an infrastructure-focused hackathon hosted by the Anteater Linux User Group (ALUG@UCI) at the University of California\, Irvine. \nBuild\, Break\, Scale\nOpsJam brings together students from universities across the region to build\, break\, and scale real infrastructure over a single weekend. Alongside the core build sprint\, participants can attend workshops and join social events with other students working in DevOps\, orchestration\, monitoring\, and systems engineering. \n20% Discount on LPI Certifications\nOpsJam 2027 participants receive a 20% discount on LPI certification exams. This exclusive offer allows students to validate their Linux and open source skills with globally recognized credentials before entering the job market. \nWhy Infrastructure Skills Matter\nLinux sits underneath the vast majority of modern infrastructure\, from cloud platforms to container orchestration to monitoring stacks. Hackathons like OpsJam give students something a lecture cannot: the experience of standing up systems under time pressure\, watching them fail\, and fixing them. That is precisely the skill set employers look for\, and precisely what vendor-neutral certification is designed to validate. \nAbout ALUG@UCI\nThe Anteater Linux User Group is UC Irvine’s community for Linux and open source: a hands-on\, peer-driven group where students build real-world skills in DevOps\, self-hosting\, and systems administration while working on projects together. ALUG@UCI meets weekly during term\, runs an installfest and LAN party each quarter\, and maintains its own Git infrastructure and community projects. \nOpsJam is the group’s flagship event\, extending that hands-on culture to students across universities. \nGet Involved\nStudents interested in Linux and open source can join ALUG@UCI’s Discord community and explore their open project repositories. Applications for OpsJam 2027 open through the event website. \nALUG@UCI is currently welcoming sponsors and partners for OpsJam 2027. Organizations interested in supporting student infrastructure talent can find details on the event website. \n\nEvent website: OpsJam 2027\nALUG@UCI: Anteater Linux User Group
