Reducing the scope of Persona and stabilizing its core APIs over the last quarter has shown us that adding more features was not the way forward." (LWN reported on Persona in March 2013).

The Linux Foundation is among a new group of member organizations edX announced today who will contribute courses to the platform.
EdX’s MOOC’s are an increasingly popular way to provide for unlimited participation and open access to learning material to people anywhere in the world via the web.
