Although they are<br>> related, they are not the same. People often fail to see the difference<br>> and think that Fedora is just the Beta of the next Red Hat Enterprise<br>> Linux. This is not true: Fedora is what we make it. It's not only<br>> software but a world wide community. Everybody can get involved and<br>> every contributor can change Fedora. This is not the case the RHEL.<br>> <br>> And then there is the difference between information or documentation<br>> and certifications or training. Documentation is for users and when we<br>> study it to improve our skills, we do it for ourselves. Certifications<br>> on the other hand has a commercial value. If you are certified, you can<br>> find a better job and get a higher salary.<br>> <br>> Long story short: I think we should focus on Fedora and on<br>> documentation. I am sure the docs team welcomes some helping hands and<br>> working on documentation will also help the ambassadors as they get more<br>> understanding of the technical details of Fedora. It's a win-win<br>> situation for both teams, but IHMO it has only very little to do with<br>> RHEL or certifications. Lets not confuse this and improve one thing at a<br>> time.<br>> <br>> Regards,<br>> Christoph<br>> <br>> --<br>> ambassadors mailing list<br>> ambassadors@lists.fedoraproject.org<br>> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ambassadors<br>                                            </div></body>
