It's taken me way to long to start this conversation. Thanks for your patience.
There has been a great demand for a low-stakes Linux/Open Source concepts exam. LPI has decided to address that with a LinuxCore exam. I won't bore you with details on delivery, but it will be a low-cost, single exam. LPI decided the name "LinuxCore" (actually, that's Evan's brain-child to be honest) instead of Level 0, because we don't want it confused with our existing sysadmin track. What skills is LinuxCore supposed to test? Not even user-level skills, but conceptual ones. Licensing, what makes the OS different, the who/what/when/where of Linux and open source, what is an OS.. stuff like that. Is this a task our brains can grapple with? What do you think? What can we cover with this subject? What kind of candidates could you see for such a program? I have opened the topic on the LPI Examdev Tool. I have named it "Linux Concepts" for now. We do not have to follow traditional task and survey processes for this exam, as it will be a low-stakes certificate, and not a full-fledged certification program. You may begin submitting tasks or items there, if you'd like, or discuss vague concepts here. Thoughts? Is there someone here interested in leading this project?
