Few weeks back, your valuable comments helped us come out with an interesting article on rooting one's Android device. We are back with a story idea and would really appreciate if you chip in and share your views on this. So the story idea goes like: How important are FOSS certifications when it comes to the job market? Please let us have your insightful suggestions on the same.
Looking forward to see some great takes...

This reminds me of those discussions I had with Kenneth Gonsalves and Dr Srinivasan at NRCFOSS who were planning[1] to bring up a FOSS certification and how we all agreed upon the decreasing "value" for RH certifications because of the rumours/reports saying how it has joined the mainstream list of certifications and there were disrepancies involving the exams .
LPI was something which didnt become mainstream for some reason but its a better exam . There are other certifications but I think its the ability to solve a problem , ability to learn , interest in tweaking are the skills which matter and are valued most.

One of the problems with company specific certifications is that you are going to get in companyisms. The NRCFOSS certification was supposed to address this issue by being company neutral. This provides a nice generic skill set that can be easily tailored by a little extra self study to master a company specific corner case.
