Title: The Linux Professional Institute and you

Abstract: Founded in 1999, the Linux Professional Institute (lpi.org)
is a non-profit that is dedicated to improving the professional landscape
of Free and Open Source Software.

This talk will discuss how certificates are different from a university
training, why LPI is different from other certifications, how the
certifications are developed and why they may be the best path for
many people.
