Propaganda. Glossy pictures. Local events aimed not just at local techs that have already been sold. Winged Monkeys (fly, fly my pretties). Is there some canned stuff that people like myself can get hold of to help push LPI certification? Wilma sent me some stuff for an event we held here in January, but unfortunately, French isn't spoken by many in Australia. Hell, English is rarely spoken properly either.... There's probably a more suitable mailing list for this discussion. Do we have an advocacy/world domination mailing list? I should join that too.... > How can we reach sysadmin managers to convince them that contributing to > LPI will make certifications with us of even more use to them? >From what I've seen of LPI, they've been pushing the Linux certification at interest groups around the world and have let them take it up from there (I could be mistaken). In Australia, we've run a few events in conjunction with other events to try and increase the industry awareness. There's also a few training companies around that are pushing the idea of certification to their clients. I'm not aware of any that have any kind of formal relationship with LPI though. > How can I make money at this and evangelize Linux full time? (Sorry that > one just slipped in ;) Find something that people want or can be convinced they want and let them know you've got it.

Yes, but it's a secret. :-) thx, Matt _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
