Hello All, Just FYI the Linux Professional Institute has beta exams running through VUE at this time, both 201 & 202 have been condensed into one beta and the exam has been discounted to US $84.
See http://www.vue.com/lpi/index.html#beta for some more info LPI needs this beta information so these exams can be finalized, in case you are not aware, LPI *is* as far as I am concerned the only true vendor neutral, non profit, community driven certification program, the exams are developed by members of the Linux community (including some Australians), so if you are interested, or know someone who may be, please take the exam or pass this on. LPI exams have become popular in the Pac Rim, where in countries like Japan for example LPI has become the standard, as an Australian myself, I would like to see more interest from Australia and New Zealand, the bottom line is that it is up to us Linux users and advocates to decide if we want to have some say in the certification space, I hope we all do -- I would love *every* SLUG member and list user to know exactly what LPI is, and is about. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me on or off list, or you may want to look around the LPI website to know what LPI stands for.. www.lpi.org chances are if you have a question, others may benefit as well by keeping it on list. On a similar note, LPI is in the process of forming a body here, the mission locally is one of promotion, if you are interested in helping at all, please contact myself greg AT lpi.org.au Locally there are some volunteer spots that will need filling... 1 Advocates -- pretty simple, just spread precise information on LPI 2 News Person/s -- somoeone willing to contact press on relevant LPI news 3 PR person -- someone who is skilled at writing PR LPI has had for some time an Australian specific mail list, you can see more here http://www.lpi.org.au/i-maillists.html Regards Greg Wright -- IT Consultant Sydney Australia PH 0418 292020 -- Int. +61 418 292020 Available for Global Contracts US Fax -- 801 740 2874 Web http://www.ausit.com E-mail Greg AT AusIT.com Trading As - AAA Computers -- providers of IT services. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
