Hello All, I know some SLUG members are aware of what LPI or ELC stands for, yesterday Richard and I used the abbreviation "LPI" in replies, I have been asked what LPI is, so I will just put this out there. In short, LPI stands for, Linux Professional Institute, you can find more information here http://www.lpi.org or can ask me any questions you do not have answered when you have looked at the site, LPI is run by Linux Community members and produces *NO* course material, only hi quality, neutral, non profit exams to help further Linux uptake in the Commercial world, the tests are no "slam dunk", so if someone holds an LPI cert, they will have a certain skill level. LPI goals are low cost certification for all & run by the Community, good stuff don't you think? :) If I use the term "ELC", it is also a non profit org, till a few months ago the charter was promotion of Linux in the Embedded space (like an LI for Embedded), now we are also moving into standards in a step by step fashion, you can find more out at http://www.embedded-linux.org or again you can ask me direct. Both organisations have people from Australia & SLUG members/supporters involved.
