Gents, I do am in favour of a more formal way of voting. Now discussions tend to get a little cloudy after a while. I would be great to have a digest of proposals that we can vote on in the end of a discussion. Then we can see what really to do with a topic. In the current system the "against" people tend to write, while the supporters keep a low profile. This could be solved with a voting system. Matt does a great job of judging/presiding the discussion. Keep going Matt! Sometimes he does listen to what I have say, Thanks for that Matt! Sometimes I get a little frustrated at the rate of change of LPI objectives versus the rate of change of Linux. LPI sometimes does not follow the industry quickly enough. Another issue of grief is that LPI has no clear Mission statement of what the purpose of the Certificates is. Personally I define it as: "Deliver industry acknowledged/recognised distribution independent certification to Linux system administrators."In this Mission there are four major players:
The first two players are the most important. LPI Exam Objectives should facilitate their business. The other two players make that possible.
LPIC exam questions should be discriminating, not hard. The exam should separate the good sysadmins from the unprepared. One step is to have clearly defined Objectives. The other is to have discriminating questions. I have never passed an exam with a 95% score (range 75-80%), I find that hard to understand. Am I an average sysadmin after using Linux for more than 18 years? Personally I thing the exam is not discriminating. Finally I am completely missing people from Player group 1: Sys Managers on this list. I would like to hear what they expect from the exams as well. How can we get more of them signed up and voting with us? With a Mission statement to measure the objectives against, and a voting system with Players from all groups, I think the quality of the Objectives and Certificates would greatly improve... Hear, Hear... The voting question could be the same on each vote: "How important do you rate the following topics for an LPIC-x laureate?" Example topic: "Know how to mount an ext2,3,4 file system." not important, somewhat important, in the middle, somewhat important, very important. This is not the same as the job task survey where we ask are you using xxxx? Many list-memebers may be using xxx, but that does not make it into an exam objective just yet! It could be outside the scope of the exam or sysmans do not think it is important and therefore it is left out. Reinier --
