How to Help:

LPI has long depended on the support of community partners, sponsors and volunteers to develop our organization and our certification program. There are many ways in which you can assist in that effort to advance the cause of Linux and Open Source professionalism.

The success of our certification program depends on the input of IT professionals and enterprises, training partners, book publishers, and exam candidates. We also look to international affiliate organizations who do the important work of promoting and marketing our certification program. In addition, we rely on the important financial contributions of corporate sponsors to assist us with the funding of new program development. Finally, we look to volunteers to assist us with our many organizational activities.

Volunteer activities at LPI include the following:

creation of exam items for our certification program
technical review and translation of our exams
strategic and technical counsel on our advisory committees
translation of our website
hosting our information booth at special events and tradeshows

If you are interested in volunteering with LPI please contact our office for further information.

For more detailed information on other ways in which you can assist LPI please see the information sections noted below.

Partners

Partnerships

LPI, as a community organization, seeks to work together with similarly-minded groups in order to advance our goals. In some cases this involves LPI being a member of various associations; in others we have more direct relationships.

How to become an LPI Training Partner

LPI, as a vendor-independent organization, does not have an "official" single method of test preparation. We encourage publishers, schools and training centers to work together within the community to encourage choice, flexibility and innovation.

Regional Enablement Initiative

International Affiliate Groups

Through LPI's Regional Enablement Intiative (REI) we actively seek out organizations around the world that are supporters of Linux and Open Source professionalism. LPI then works closely with those organizations to enable them to introduce our certification programs within their particular region and find the necessary partners who share their interest in promoting Linux and Open Source software.
