That's true Bernard. In fact LPI will be offering a free LPIC-1 boot camp to all interested paid participants, including free training manuals and discounted exams. There is also a developer challenge which will be announced soon that's sponsored by GE, focusing on Healthcare solutions. Keep out an eye for that.

Hi Skunks, thought this may be interesting: 

Strathmore University will on the 24th to the 28th March host an international conference called Idlelo. This is an Annual Conference on Free and Open Source Software and the Digital Commons. It will be attended by students and participants from more than 10 African countries, local government and counties, tech firms like Ushahidi and other organizations. Part of this conference (day one and two) will be for impacting technical skills and knowledge, offering a wealth of trainings including:
 FOSS Business Models
 Android Bootcamp
 Ushahidi Camp
 Open Data Camp
 LPI Bootcamp (training and certification worth 15k)
 Drupal

This is a great opportunity for you to learn new skills, meet and socialize with open source software experts, network with potential clients and employers as well as get various certifications. All this for just KES. 5, 000 (for students) for a five day training!

Do not miss out on this great opportunity. Sign up here to be part of the biggest Open Source movement on the planet.
