Below you'll find a message from me that I sent to LPI lists in regards to
the launch of the Job Analysis Survey for Level 2 of the Linux
Professional Institute's certification program. As LPI is a non-profit
organization and development of the LPI objectives are Open Source, I
wanted to ask that you and your qualifying LUG members assist us with this
survey. The details and purpose of the survey falls below.

In two weeks we've received nearly 50% of our required participants to
help us define the job objectives for Level 2 (Senior) system
administrators. It's very important that we get the widest range of
possible responses from people who are performing Linux sysadmin tasks in
their daily jobs. Our goal to keep our program active on a global level
means we need participants from all regions around the world.

If you can help us with this survey, I definitely look forward to working
with you. In addition to participating at the survey level, we work with
the community to define the final objectives and to develop the test items
for the exams. If you will, please forward this project request to your
LUG members inviting their participation. If you have any questions,
please let me know.

P.S. For an explanation of *why* we are doing this and how it
plays a role in our development process, please visit:

Subject: It's that time again... Job Analysis Survey


The Job Analysis survey is open for business for Level 2 of LPI's
certification program! We need intermediate and advanced Linux system
administrators to complete these surveys.

See http://www.lpi.org/ for a link to the survey, or go straight to
http://www.lpi.org/cgi-bin/jass.py.

The purpose of this survey is to determine the scope of what should be
covered at the intermediate level of Level 2. The complete survey is
divided into 19 smaller surveys with 20-25 items each. When reviewing the
tasks, you'll find a vast number of topics and task types. Some are pretty
vague, with attempts are covering a whole process, while others are fairly
tedious to cover specific topics.

At the bottom of each survey, you will find a comment box, a new feature
added since the Level 1 surveys. Please take advantage of these comment
boxes to help us develop the best Level 2 possible!

Everyone who completes all 19 mini-surveys will be entered to receive free
vouchers for the Level 2 exams when they are released. The last survey, of
the 1400 surveys completed, only 10 people completing the 1400 completed
all of them! So your odds are very good!

Please feel free to talk about the surveys here or to join our lpi-examdev
mailing list to discuss details. If you have any questions, let me know! I
look forward to working with you!
