Folks, We are looking at a whole bunch of different ways to generate publicity and promotion of LPI... given that we are a nonprofit Linux community project and not part of a larger for-profit company, we do not necessarily have the marketing $$$ of other cert programs. But there's one little way that everyone on this list can help. The next time you (or your HR department) run an advertisement (in print, online, or wherever) for a job position that requires Linux technical skills, consider putting a simple line like this: LPI certification a plus. somewhere in the job text (and assuming it would be appropriate for the position!). Doing this helps generate demand for the LPI credential... which helps all around. If you do it in online postings (either on your web site or others), then it also starts to show up in big job sites like monster.com and dice.com. With LPI, we may not be able to compete dollar-for-dollar with the marketing budgets of other cert programs... but there are a lot more of us out there... and this is one inexpensive and easy way to help promote LPI. Please pass this along to your HR department if you have one and to any other lists you think are appropriate.
