*Open source and certification* * *Open source is a community activity that builds governance from trust and consensus. Projects wishing to adopt a set of best practices (such as those expressed by the Apache Software Foundation or the Eclipse Foundation) take their project to that community rather than expecting external certification. *Those seeking the services of a professional recognized by a given community may well prefer a certification from that community, such as that offered commercially by Red Hat, collegially by LPI, or by a community such as The Document Foundation.* ** *These certifications each presuppose a level of professional education appropriate to the tasks their scope embraces. All the same, they are granular, applying the best measures appropriate to the technology and skills under consideration, rather than trying to devise a general abstraction for "IT professionalism."*
