OSSMalta - Open Source Society Malta

22/06/2026

Twenty years ago, a small group of open-source believers started OSSMalta. Today, we’re taking our biggest step forward yet.

We’ve officially teamed up with the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) to completely change the game for tech education in Malta. 🇲🇹

If you run a school, a university, or a training center here, this is for you: we’re breaking down the barriers to top-tier IT training by offering up to 60% OFF the entire LPI certification portfolio, with absolutely no minimum student caps.

Whether you're a student looking for a pathway to companies like Google and Meta, an educator wanting to upgrade your curriculum, or a business looking for elite talent, this belongs to you.

Let's make Malta's digital future better, together. Tap the link below to see the full breakdown of courses and how we can collaborate 👇

🛡️ Is your organization ready for the EU Cyber Resilience Act?

The CRA is a major shift for the tech world, and we want to make sure the Maltese community isn't caught off guard! As honorary members of the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group (ORCWG.eu), we’re helping to break down what these changes mean for local developers and businesses.

We’ve put together a guide to help you navigate the upcoming deadlines and requirements.

⚠️ Note: This is community-led, non-legal guidance based on our interpretation of the current text. It shouldn't be taken as professional legal advice, but rather a friendly roadmap to get you started!
