Tech/Linux Career Advice?

I've been in the restaurant industry for most of my life, and am looking for advice on transitioning into a career involving technology and Linux. What are some first steps I can take, and what are some interesting areas to get into? Also, if there are better threads for career advice, feel free to point me in the right direction. I live in Austin, Texas if that helps. Thanks.

Linux has a GNU public licence which requires people to publish their code as open source right?

If this is true, why isn't the Kindle, android and Google's internal server open source?

Does anyone know of a piece of software that will plot maps points for all my network connections?


I would like a service that would be able to see the network connections on my computer, figure out their geographical location on earth and plot those on a map. Ya feel me?

Eight years ago this month, the Nokia N9 went on sale. It was Nokia's first and last MeeGo device. It could have been the first of a modern Linux-based line of devices, but Nokia had already chosen Microsoft as its way forward.

As a Linux platform based on mature technologies, and with the combined backing of Nokia and Intel, [MeeGo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo) could have become a good competitor to Android, with a touch-centric interaction model very similar to the current mobile OS versions.

We could have had non-Android Linux devices hitting the mainstream market many years ago, running an OS that's more flexible than Android and fully open source. The tight grip that Google holds over OEMs and over more and more basic features of Android, moved to or linked to proprietary services and code, could have been prevented.

[This blog post](https://medium.com/other-oses/https-medium-com-giovanniminelli-what-is-the-nokia-n9-and-why-it-matters-b76ec1a286b1) outlines some of the modern and forward-thinking features of MeeGo and the Nokia N9, while [here is a history](https://muropaketti.com/mobiili/the-story-of-nokia-meego/) of MeeGo's and Nokia's internal development, with the many challenges and hiccups it faced.

Let's remember what an early yet impressive mobile Linux outing MeeGo was eight years ago, and hopefully learn from its history for the future.
