Anybody for that matter. What you do should reflect
who you are and what your skills are. You shouldn't
need a certification to brand you :)

Its not the "Industry", its the HR, most of the time,
who are non-technical.
   
So, the question would be whether you do a
certification just to convince an HR, rather than
acquire skills to solve problems given to you during
work?

I don't have any certification. Does that make me
incompetent in any way in the FLOSS world?

In a group, you will find differences of opinion. Its
natural. The final decision is yours.

Good questions. Add to this:

1. How often are the content of certifications
updated?

2. How often are mentors given training?

3. If you are RHCE certified, when do you take the
next certification? Things move/change really fast in
the FLOSS world.

Regards,

SK
