(Sacramento, USA, February 21, 2008) The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), issued a call for volunteers to assist in the development of its world leading Linux certification program. Volunteers are sought in an updated Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey for the organization's LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certification programs. LPI is undertaking an extensive review and update of its popular LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certifications. Linux professionals are invited to participate in the Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey to determine exam weighting and finalize exam objectives for both certification programs. The LPIC-1 JTA is available now at https://www.lpi.org/caf/Xamdev/jta and the LPIC-2 JTA survey will be released near the end of February. Updated objectives for exam preparation and training material providers will be available in May 2008 and new updated exams will be published in December 2008. As an incentive for volunteers LPI will be offering free exams to the first 50 participants to complete the JTA and will award an additional 50 free exams to survey participants at random. These free exams will only be available at exam labs at LPI events around the world, however they are transferable to another person, and redeemable until December 31, 2009.
