---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniam Henriques <snogdog@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Dec 19, 2006 11:03 AM Subject: Fedora backing the LPI events in South Africa To: tchung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi Thomas, Recently I read an article on one of South Africa's leading OSS websites (www.tectonic.co.za) related to the The Shuttleworth Foundation and how from February 2007 they will stop being the South African affiliate of the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). As mentioned in the Article The Meraka Open Source Centre (http://www.meraka.org.za) have been in contact with the LPI. I was wondering what you thought of Fedora perhaps getting involved in such an initiative along with the Meraka Open Source Centre? It would take financial backing on Fedora's part though, as The Shuttleworth Foundation's role was to pay a percentage of all the applicants exam costs, thus making it more accessible to all. I have attached the article below from you to read. The LPI events have always been very successful I was part of the very first "Mass LPI" certification event in Johannesburg and we had over 300 people all writing the LPI certification exams on the same day. http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=1287 Let me know what you think, I would be more than happy to work along with the Meraka Open Source Centre and provide you with more information related to how Fedora might become involved. -- Regards, Daniam Henriques Lead Ambassador Fedora Project South Africa www.fedoraproject.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Are we interested in an initiative with LPI in South Africa?
