第二屆紅帽2012挑戰賽將向亞太地區學生開放

今年的主題“我參與,我貢獻” 正是開源社區協作思想的體現

-

全球領先的開源解決方案供應商紅帽公司(紐約證交所上市代碼:RHT)今天宣佈,將舉辦面向中國大陸、香港、馬來西亞、新加坡和台灣地區的知識技術競賽-第二屆亞太區紅帽挑戰賽。此次競賽於2012112日正式開始,每個國家或地區成績最優秀的兩名決賽入圍選手將飛往北京,參加於20121215日舉行的決勝輪比賽.

 

為了體現今年的主題-我參與,我奉獻,用於測試參賽學生知識水準的平台是由新加坡工程系學生構建的。新加坡理工學院的LimGuoWei在紅帽公司的免費自動擴展式平台即服務(PaaS)上設計了這項應用,並為其編寫了代碼。選擇該主題的目的是表示通過開源賦予學生更多的技能.

 

這項競賽開放的對象包括中國大陸、香港、馬來西亞、新加坡和台灣地區的任何大學、職業技術學校或私營學校的所有全日制學生。每名參賽者將接受關於紅帽企業Linux系統管理、網路管理、安全管理和虛擬化任務方面的考試。

 

紅帽亞太公司服務部總監SachinShridhar指出:去年舉辦的首屆紅帽挑戰賽反響積極,因此我們決定擴大規模,並且向亞太地區更多的學生開放參賽。今年的主題是我參與,我奉獻,這正是協作創新的一種體現。我們相信這種基於分享思想和推動用戶創新的框架所產生的影響將超越開發者、IT專業人士和企業的範疇。我們希望證明,學生在開源社區中也能發揮至關重要的作用。1

 

由於對IT專業人員的需求日益增大,尤其是具備開源環境工作技能的人員更是炙手可熱,因此培養下一代IT專業人士的重要性不言而喻。根據Linux基金會最新發佈的《2012年度Linux職位報告》,81%的公司已經表示,雇用Linux人才將是其在2012年的優先事項。在亞洲,這一百分比甚至更高,有86%的公司均表示雇用Linux人才是其最優先考慮的問題。

紅帽亞太公司服務部總監SachinShridhar表示:我們堅信,在亞太地區,對具備相關IT技能的個人的需求將繼續呈現出增長的趨勢。他們將幫助企業實現轉型,並且充分發揮新興技術的威力。我們將努力為亞太地區培養和塑造下一代的IT專業人員,而這次競賽正是這一承諾一個組成部分。

 

此次亞太地區紅帽挑戰賽包含三個階段:

 

1階段(112日開始)-這一輪線上進行的快速比賽要求每一位學生在60分鐘的時間內回答最多118道多選題,內容涉及20個主題。每個參賽國家/地區成績最優的20位學生將進入第二階段。

 

2階段(1112日開始)-每個國家/地區的20名優勝學生將應邀訪問離所在地最近的紅帽分公司,並接受紅帽認證講師的親自面試。每位學生必須解答由紅帽認證講師提出的三個不同的問題場景。他們的成績將被評分,每個國家/地區成績最佳的兩位元學生將飛往北京參加決賽輪的競賽。

 

3階段(1215日)-每個國家/地區成績最高的兩名學生將到北京與其他學生共同參加關於虛擬化的開卷競賽。
