BARCLEONA, Spain, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentrium announces the launch of VyOS additional support project for educational institutions.

The open-source community recognizes the importance of all work performed by teachers, educators, researchers, and people of other community-oriented professions. It is that impact that keeps the balance today and prepares young minds for a brighter tomorrow. This initiative is only gratitude for an opportunity to give something in return.
