Within the classic model of technology adoption, Linux and other Open Source technologies have clearly moved beyond the "Early Adopters" to the "Early Majority" phase. This wave of adoption will soon crest and IT professionals with Linux and Open Source skills will be in high demand.
This presentation will focus on how to further your IT career through accreditation, community involvement and active participation in relevant social media networks. This information session will provide examples from around the world of the growing demand for Linux/OSS professionals, tips for enhancing your career prospects, and a surf board/tool kit that will enable you to ride the "big wave" of Linux/Open Source adoption.

LPI-101 is one of two exams necessary to obtain the Linux Professional Institute Certification, Level One (LPIC-1).
LPIC-1 is a vendor neutral certification for Linux system administration. Individuals who obtain LPIC-1 are automatically eligible to receive their SUSE Certified Linux Administrator certification. In order to successfully pass the LPIC-1 exams, you should have at least one year of Linux experience. This course is a half day event designed to help prepare an experienced Linux user to take the LPI-101 exam towards their LPIC-1 certification.
This ExamCram session includes information on exam structure, question types, and how to use practical experience and one’s knowledge of Linux to determine the correct answers to exam questions. Participants in this ExamCram session will also gain important tips, tricks and techniques in order to successfully complete and pass their LPI exams. The presenter on this subject has provided ExamCram and LPI training for 10 years, and welcomes all questions during his exam cram sessions.
