A publisher of magazines focusing on the Linux computer operating system has launched its North American headquarters in downtown Lawrence.
Linux New Media AG, based in Germany, officially opened its U.S. affiliate at 719 Mass. last week.
The Lawrence office will take over publication of Linux Pro Magazine, the North American edition of the magazine known overseas as Linux Magazine.
“We have been gradually assembling a team in Lawrence for the past two years,” Brian Osborn, chief executive officer of Linux New Media USA and a Kansas University graduate, said in a statement.
