> LPI Announces New Affiliate in Turkey
>
> (Sacramento, CA, USA: November 19, 2009) The Linux Professional
> Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization
> (http://www.lpi.org), announced a new affiliate for their program:
> LPI-Turkey (http://www.lpi-turkey.com/).  LPI-Turkey will be managed by
> Endersys Consultancy and Software Ltd.(http://www.endersys.com).
> Endersys was founded in 2006 and provides Linux and Open Source
> solutions, services and IT consulting in Turkey.
>
> "Linux and Open Source adoption has been growing rapidly in Turkey since
> 2000.  Many companies, including those in the telecommunications,
> finance, education, health, industry and government sectors are
> replacing their IT infrastructure with Open Source solutions and, as a
> result, Linux experts are amongst the most sought after IT employees.
> To serve this demand our community needs a well-known, respected and
> independent global certification program for Linux professionals in
> Turkey.  LPI is the best choice for this purpose," said Baris Simsek,
> CEO and founder of Endersys.
>
> "We welcome LPI-Turkey into our network of global affiliates and expect
> to see significant growth in Linux education and LPI certification
> within that community.  In particular, it is notable that the government
> of Turkey has funded the development of a Linux distribution, Pardus,
> for their domestic needs.  This distribution is driving the rapid
> adoption of Linux within government and other public sector agencies in
> Turkey and LPI is pleased to be part of this effort to
> promote the adoption of Linux and Open source," said Jim Lacey,
> president and CEO of LPI.  The Linux distribution, Pardus
> (http://www.pardus.org.tr/) was developed by the Turkish National
> Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE) under the
> Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (T?BITAK).
>
> The Linux Professional Institute is globally supported by the IT
> industry, enterprise customers, community professionals, government
> entities and the educational community. LPI's certification program is
> supported by an affiliate network spanning five continents and is
> distributed worldwide in multiple languages in more than 7,000 testing
> locations. Since 1999, LPI has delivered over 225,000 exams and 70,000
> LPIC certifications around the world.
