Open Source Initiative Announces Alliance with Nonprofit Certifications Group
When it comes to professional certifications, the long-running nonprofit Linux Professional Institute boasts they’ve issued 250,000, making them the world’s largest Linux/Open Source certification body. And last week they announced a “strategic alliance” with the Open Source Initiative (OSI), which will now be “participating in development and maintenance of these programs.”
The announcement points out that the Open Source Initiative already has many distinct responsibilities. Besides creating the Open Source Definition — and certifying that Open Source licenses meet the requirements of Open Source software — the OSI’s mission is to “encourage the growth of Open Source communities around the world,” which includes “educational and outreach efforts to spread Open Source principles.”
So the ultimate goal is “strengthening Linux and Open Source communities,” according to the announcement, by “nurturing the growth of more highly skilled professionals,” with the OSI encouraging more people to get certifications for employers. The Open Source movement “has never been in greater need of educated professionals,” says OSI executive director Stefano Maffulli, “to drive the next leap forward in Open Source understanding, innovation, and adoption… “This partnership with LPI is one in a series of initiatives that will increase accessibility to the certifications and community participation that Open Source needs to thrive.”
And the LPI’s executive director says it’s their group’s mission “to promote the use of open source by supporting the people who work with it. A closer relationship with OSI makes a valuable contribution to this effort.”
The move “reaffirms the commitment of LPI and OSI to enhance the adoption of Linux and Open Source technology,” according to the announcement.
