LPI 10th Anniversary Notices

Next month marks the 10th Anniversary of the Linux Professional Insitute
and accordingly LPI has some important announcements regarding
recertification, upcoming events and special discounts.

1. LinuxCon: September 21-23, 2009 (Portland, Oregon)

LPI is proud to be participating in the Linux Foundation's new annual
technical conference that will provide an unmatched collaboration and
education space for all matters Linux.

LPI will host two events during the conference: a day of exam labs and a
Technical Advisory Committee for community input into LPI exam
development.  For more information on LPI at LINUXCON please see:

2.  IMPORTANT: "Single Exam" Expiry Policy

In March our Board of Directors passed a new policy that limited the
time a single exam would remain valid towards certification.  In the
past it was possible that one could write and pass one exam and then
take the second exam at an indefinite later date in order to complete
the certification (e.g. both LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 require two exams).  This
has been modified to align with our recertification policy (# 6 at
http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification/policies): a single exam will be
valid for only five years such that the second exam must be taken within
a five year period in order to obtain the certification.

This new policy will be fully implemented on September 1, 2009. A FAQ
will be available at that time to provide details and examples.  In the
interim we have been contacting all "single exam" holders in our
database who will soon be expiring to inform them of this policy initiative.

3.  Ohio LinuxFest: September 25-27, 2009 (Columbus, Ohio)

This is the fourth consecutive year that LPI will participate in Ohio
LinuxFest and this year this popular and regional "Free and Open Source
Software Conference and Expo" will celebrate 40 years of Unix.

LPI will host discounted exam labs during the event.  For more
information see: http://www.ohiolinux.org/lpi.html
In addition, the conference will feature an all day "exam cram" class to
assist candidates in preparing for their LPIC-1 exams:

Ubuntu Certified Professional (UCP) exams. The promotional program
