Idea:

Last year cert-lab was about to die, but was brought back in.

Has it gone for good now, or could a joint effort (VOTES please) make it survive ?

Comment: I hadn't heard there was a risk of the labs closing. If this is so then you've definitely got my vote. I was planning to do my ND8 upgrade at LS this year.

Comment: Last year they didn't post any information on the Lotusphere Cert Prep/Cert Test Labs until the first week in December. And like Matt, I hadn't heard that had almost closed the labs either. These labs have been so popular that I find it hard to believe that they would do away with them. In fact, I think some companies count on their employees picking up a certification or two while they're attending the conference. I'm anticipating that they will post something about the certification labs, including discounted exam fees, within the next couple of weeks.

Comment: I would be surprised if they closed the labs, but perhaps you know something Knud, that I/we do not. I would think that closing the Test Prep lab would dramatically reduce the number of certs attempted at LS. Therefore, it should remain open, IMHO.

Comment: Sounds like this is just a rumor. I just got an e-mail from one of the IBMers in the Lotus Certification Program. They are indeed planning to staff the certification labs at Lotusphere 2008. They aren't sure how the rumor got started.

Comment: Yep, it was just a rumor. I just saw a post from the Lotus Certification Program folks that said that the certification exams at Lotusphere 2008 will be only $75 this year. That's 50% off the price for many of the exams (ND8 Upgrade exams, etc.).
