"LPI enthusiastically supports CeBIT's choice of Poland as their
featured "Partner Country" for 2013. Over the past year, LPI has
participated in a variety of high-level discussions with Polish
government officials and industry representatives on the importance of
Linux and Open Source Software to the ongoing development of their
rapidly growing ICT sector. Open Source technologies will certainly
play a greater role within Poland's IT industry in the future and LPI
will be readily available to assist with their overall IT workforce
development strategies," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI. Mr.
Lacey noted in particular a recent LPI Forum at the Warsaw University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland sponsored by the Polish Ministry of the
Economy (http://www.lpi.org/news/lpi-forum-warsaw-poland).
