Hello Everyone,
Christoph, thank you for your e-mail. ;)
I hope to see the personnel development for the Fedora Ambassadors interested in learning more about Fedora via #fedora-classroom & study as a seed to be further developed and grow in 2012. :)
Thank You Sincerely,
- David -

Hello Everybody,
I've just created a survey to collect information from ambassadors regarding RH certifications and Fedora Training. This is a small survey and please spend few minutes to complete it. :)
The idea behind this survey is to collect information from ambassadors about their desire to learn Fedora and get certified from RH.
I think these are two completely different topics in various ways.
On the one hand we have Fedora, on the other Red Hat. Although they are related, they are not the same. People often fail to see the difference and think that Fedora is just the Beta of the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is not true: Fedora is what we make it. It's not only software but a world wide community. Everybody can get involved and every contributor can change Fedora. This is not the case the RHEL.
And then there is the difference between information or documentation and certifications or training. Documentation is for users and when we study it to improve our skills, we do it for ourselves. Certifications on the other hand has a commercial value. If you are certified, you can find a better job and get a higher salary.
Long story short: I think we should focus on Fedora and on documentation. I am sure the docs team welcomes some helping hands and working on documentation will also help the ambassadors as they get more understanding of the technical details of Fedora. It's a win-win situation for both teams, but IHMO it has only very little to do with RHEL or certifications. Lets not confuse this and improve one thing at a time.
Regards, Christoph
I bet, if you ask for Oracle DBA track on the same survey, there is a possibility of requesting that too. ;-)
