<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">While those who know me know that I think very highly of Red Hat<br>
certifications and have been privileged to benefit from them<br>
personally, I don't see any reason this should be something for<br>
ambassadors specifically. The value of the certification has little to<br>
do with performing ambassador duties or with being qualified to be a<br>
good ambassador for Fedora.<br>
<br>
I can more easily support an initiative to help all Fedora<br>
contributors who are interested in acquiring certifications do so. I<br>
don't think FAmSCo is the best vehicle for that and I don't think it<br>
really falls under the FAmSCo mission.<br>
<br>
Can we discuss here what you would like FAmSCo or anyone else to<br>
provide in terms of support?<br></blockquote><div><br><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hi,</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Actually, this was just an idea that came from our ambassadors. Not just me. We were discussed about this in a APAC ambassador regional meeting. FYI meeting log[1] is pasted below (please refer the topic</span><span class="topicline"> <span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Red Hat information training for Ambassadors (dramsey)</span></span><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">). The thing is, RH certification is just a part of this survey. We don't want to mix-up RH with fedora here. I think this is a misunderstanding about two separate topics. Only thing is both were came in a single survey. The solely effort behind this action is to make ambassadors more equipped in technical knowledge in Linux. Because every one not the same in technical knowledge. Also Classrooms can be taken as part of that effort. If there is a firm understanding about the </span><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">things</span><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> that people looking forward to learn, even classrooms can be conducted more dynamically. So for a better clarification, it is good to have a discussion with our fellow ambassadors who were in that meeting I mentioned above.</span><br>
