Some items came up during the meeting that were not fully addressed, including: the upcoming LPI exams a software tool that I forgot the name of “PGP Trash Troll Delete”. I have some info for all of the above The next set of LPI exams are scheduled for Saturday, November 20, 2004 at Altera in Kanata. We are hoping for two seatings, 11:000 and 13:00 For those who use public transit, and are are not familiar with Kanata, the bus route 160 passes along March Road (near the building) on Saturdays octranspo schedule.

Last meeting, we discussed the potential LPI certification testing, which went ahead. This time around, we will be discussing the next round, as well as the possibility of trying to set up a training day for the exam. We could set up and review the objectives, as well as set up a small network kind of like an installfest, but with the LPI objectives as the goal. This needs some work, but I’m willing to spend a Saturday or a Sunday at it.

As you can see, especially with the LPI icon over to the side, I’ve added a section specifically for the LPI exams we will be sponsoring on a hopefully regular basis. If things go well, we are considering another set in late November, probably the Saturday after the ovSAGE meeting. We will assume potentially two seatings, 11:00 and 13:00. This will be confirmed with a posting and an email to all registered participants.

As discussed last meeting, we bounced out a week for this month. Same bat time, same bat channel, just different week of the month. Some things to discuss would include “Is there going to be a LPI exam this weekend?” It seems that I wasn’t the only one who wondered. Unfortunately, I never received the email to approve Walt’s post. I just noticed it today after restarting my server.

As requested… At last night’s OCLUG meeting, I heard that they were running Linux Professional Institute exams on Saturday, September 25, (registration at Linux Butler) at Altera. Exam pricing is $60/exam, but discounted to $50 for OVSAGE members. It would be nice if this were mentioned on www.ovsage.org
