[LPI-News] Linux Professional Institute Announces New Affiliates in Africa

Linux Professional Institute Announces New Affiliates in Africa

(Toronto, Canada: October 10, 2007) The Linux Professional Institute
(LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization
((http://www.lpi.org), announced new affiliates in East Africa (Uganda,
Kenya, Tanzania) and Nigeria.

"These two new affiliates are indicative of the growing importance of
Linux and Open Source Software both in the field of education and IT
capacity development in Africa," said John Meaney, LPI Area Operations
Manager for EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). Mr. Meaney noted
that there was significant interest in the region in Linux
professionalism and that he was involved in ongoing discussions with
other potential affiliates for the Middle East and Africa.

Representing LPI in East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania) will be the
East African Centre for Open Source Software (EACOSS). EACOSS
(http://www.eacoss.org) is an IT training centre devoted to promoting
the development of Open Source IT professionals in the East African
region. EACOSS is located in Kampala, Uganda at the Uganda Institute of
Information and Communication Technology.

"The adoption of Linux in East Africa as well as migration from
proprietary platforms to OSS platforms has always been hampered by the
absence of skilled and qualified personnel within the region. EACOSS
trusts that in promoting the internationally-recognized vendor neutral
LPI certification we will see a substantial increase in qualified IT
personnel--and assure employers, clients and other stakeholders that
they are entrusting their OSS based IT infrastructure to professionals
who meet an international skills standard," said George W. Lule,
