Hello everyone! The idea is, as the subject of the e-mail already indicates, to create nternational Standards for openSUSE training. The goal/target of this concept: to make openSUSE more united by having international standards for trainings, courses and/or certifications. In practice, this means that whoever who wants to conduct a training or course, the given training should correspond with the openSUSE standards. This in order to maintain international qualities. It would be even better if these openSUSE trainings, are based in the Novell Certification Programs. This is just a start. The concept should cover the following aspects:- Which target groups (who are taking a training, for example, entrepreneurs, students) - Which topics should be covered (for example, YaST usability, understanding the File System) - Which kind of certifications (for example, openSUSE administrator, openSUSE engineer) - Who is recognizing these trainings and certifications (for example, Novell recognition for these trainings, other official foundations) - What kind of materials are needed (for example, PDF-documents made by the trainer) - What kind of requirements are needed to be a trainer, teacher, or something else. (for example, a minimum time of experience with openSUSE) - What about on-line training standards (for example, e-trainings) Or maybe there are other aspects to be considered. Just to see an example from another distro, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training I am looking forward for your reply. Thank you very much for your efforts.
