Yes. All of the courseware writers and book publishers have asked for the delay. the more meetings we had with partners, the more it became clear that they needed more time to catch up (present company excluded, though). I wanted these new exams out as fast as possible but when do marketing and sales guys listen to us techies? ;) Plus, there's always been a lot of people that don't hear the news of what is going on and we cannot send enough messages out to people about the changes. Heck, I still get e-mails asking when LPIC-3 exams are coming out :( > > Some of the courseware writers should be happy to hear this. > > Not really.

Is there any chance that you are a proctor and can deliver PBTs? I could see if we can provide paper versions of the new exams for people that are training to the new objectives before the CBT launch. > > We are checking to see if we can offer previews of the new exams to > > affiliates, partners, courseware writers, etc in early January, too. > > > That would be good. I'll look forward to it. I'll keep you posted on that. regards, -- g. matthew rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> starnix care, toronto, ontario, ca phone: 647.722.5301 x242 gpg id: EF9AAD20 http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
