黄健耀分享了主题为“中国Linux市场走向与人才需求分析”的演讲。黄健耀介绍，在IT培训市场份额方面，红帽一直占据着举足轻重的地位，并呈快速上升
趋势。调查表明，2007年红帽是IT培训第一阵营的三巨头之一，2009年红帽已经成为领导区域的唯一。RHCE一直以来是市场需求最为迫切的IT认
证，原因是在团队技能和厂商支持这两大关键要素方面，红帽被认为尤为出色。
随着Linux在经济危机形式下的表现优异发展迅猛，Linux认证也随着大热。调查数据表明，目前Linux认证所占比例高达38.5%，与微软认证不
相上下。在Linux认证中，红帽认证占据比例高达61.2%，远超过LPIC、TLCE、Novell
SUSE的市场份额。与2008年相比，2009年Linux认证市场份额增长显著，RHCT认证由71.7%增长到72.2%，RHCE认证由
68.4%增长到70.6%，RHCA认证由46.7%增长到67.5%。在“2008最热门10大IT国际认证”排行中，RHCE认证遥遥领先。中国的
IT认证市场需求曾远远落后于国际水平，但市场潜力巨大。2007年中国在亚太区IT认证排名位居第四，2009年5月已上升到第三位。红帽表示看好
Linux认证在中国的市场机遇。
现场还有来自世界500强的职业经理人与大家畅谈“知识经济对企业的影响”，以及RHCE明星分享从菜鸟到Linux高手的进阶培训。该RHCE明星表示
将全力挑战从RHCT到RHCE到RHCA到RHCSS的系列认证。凭借优异表现，其获得2个月的红帽内部培训，随之赢得红帽实习机会，最终凭借出色表现
成为红帽大家族中的一员。
RHCE认证启动于1999年，是以考动手能力为主的最大的Linux认证项目之一。目前，全球已有近38,000个红帽认证工程师们帮助他们的公司作成
功的 Linux部署和迁移。未来，红帽系列认证将帮助全球范围内及中国的开源爱好者们在开源领域内获得非凡成功。
