  Jan 24th, 16:34 UTC

The Linux Professional Institute and System Administrators Guild are investigating possible partnership opportunities leading to mutual membership agreements between the two organizations.

NEW YORK, January 22, 2003 - The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), (www.lpi.org), the premier professional certification program for the Linux community, and System Administrators Guild (SAGE) (www.sage.org), an organization that advances the status of computer system administration as a profession, are investigating possible partnership opportunities leading to mutual membership agreements between the two organizations.

"We believe a beneficial agreement with SAGE is just another example of how LPI is building a stronger IT community," says LPI's president Evan Leibovitch. "During the months ahead, we will explore various options to see how we can bring our added value benefits to the SAGE community."

"LPI is performing a great service to the sysadmin community and we look forward to working through the partnership details that will culminate in a special SAGE membership arrangement for those certified by LPI," adds SAGE's executive director Rob Kolstad. "SAGE is independent of particular vendors, technologies or philosophies so our organizations are compatible and are a good fit."

LPI's mandate is to design and deliver a certification program from within the Linux community, using both volunteer and professional resources. It has been ranked number one on the list of certifications expected to rise the `fastest in importance' according to the 2002 CRN Certification study. LPI has also been selected as the winner, for the second consecutive year, of the Linux Journal's annual Editors' Choice Awards in the Training and Certification category. LPI has delivered over 20,000 Level 1 and Level 2 certification exams globally since the program's inception in just two years.

The System Administrators Guild (SAGE), a Special Technical Group of USENIX, the Advanced Computing Systems Association was chartered in 1992 with the goal of advancing the status of computer system administration as a profession. SAGE is achieving its goal by establishing standards of professional excellence, recognizing professional achievements, developing guidelines for improving the technical and managerial capabilities of system administrators, and promoting activities that advance the profession's perception. With a worldwide membership of over 4,000 professionals, SAGE is recognized as the premier organization for system administrators, network administrators and their managers.
