Segment Two- Getting Linux Certified– An Update
with Linux Professional Institute
Tonight we will be joined by Evan Leibovitch
President and Chairman of the Board of LPI. For
those of you living in a closet, LPI or the Linux
Professional Institute is a community organization
advocating the professional use of Linux. It is best known around
the world as the organization that developed the metrix and testing
protocols for a professional Linux skills certification
certification exam. LPI’s industry standard certifications are
delivered in thousands of locations worldwide, in multiple
languages and with the support of employers, vendors, and trainers.
LPI is a vendor neutral organization, but is used as the basic
metric for several different curricula; including Comptia’s Linux
Plus.
Tonight we will be discussing several topics with Evan,
including the current state of certification development, and we
are sure we will discuss Evans recent trip to Europe.
Evan was one of the co-founders of LPI. Before taking the role
as LPI President, he was a Vice President at Starnix Inc., a
Linux-centric VAR located near Toronto. He registered his first
Internet domain in 1986, has been involved with Unix even longer,
and first started using Linux in 1996. He was a co-founder of the
Canadian Linux Users’ Exchange and has written on Linux issues for
a number of publications. Evan has a degree in Philosophy from York
University and a graduate degree in Journalism from Ryerson
Polytechnic University. Evan presently lives in Ontario,
Canada.
