The Pirate University is a self-institution designed to facilitate the free exchange of skills and knowledge. The project is a social comment on the increasing commodification of education. 

Its not just about free software, its about free education. A community of people helping each other to gain more skills. 

Based on the Free, Libre, Open Source Software (FLOSS) Principles and the Hacker Ethic the Pirate University plans to create a free and open creative peer education system. A selection of creative workshops and a core curriculum will be created (if it uses technology then keep it open source). The one obligation to each student is that they must share and distribute all of their work and their knowledge to others. The University will accommodate people of all ages from all backgrounds and will offer workshops and courses in any subject that you see fit. 

If you would like to help out, contribute, be involved then please do. The Pirate University is run on the Hacker Ethic, use the contact form to find out more or sign up. 

Please ensure that what you add is beneficial to others. We are trying to build an educational resource so please add tutorials, guides, workthoughs, code, anything that can help someone in anyway.
