(Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- March 3, 2006)

FOSSFM organised had our third community LPI exam on the 25th off March 2006. We had 13 people from the community take the exam. Two more exams with 31candidates from training institutions will be taking the exam too.

Many thanks to Dr. Nah for proctoring the exam and helping with the organization of the exam, Ang Chin Han and Azrin from Bytecraft for
generously providing for the exam venue and other members of our community for their time, effort and help for making this work.

We hope to have a fourth exam soon, possibly in July. If you are interested in taking any of the available LPIC exams, do send an email to ditesh@gathani.org
