Part of this is that the examiners themselves know nothing else, and the other that examination centres only run that suite.......
So, we need to ensure that someone who knows more than windows (which is probably not a trademark) qualifies as an examiner. Then we need to establish, or have established, a suite for testing. I'm willing to put a small amount of work into that. Are there any significant agencies or firms around whose interests will be served by increasing the casual user base for Unix/Linux? I would think that one of the Cornish councils, which made the sensible choice of X-terminals on Unix (Solaris?) would be one, the Met Office perhaps another, Hill House Hammond, one of three largest insurance brokers in the country with reportedly a Linux-based office system in each of many offices another. There may well be educational establishments with a room with several linux boxes in, that could be used on a rental basis, alternatively is there a market for a a travelling company that can set up in a place for a couple of days and offer training and testing and certification? There are plenty of us on this list and nearby who have companies and relevant experience - but it will only get done if there is economic justification. I think there may be. Let us identify the orgs and assets, devise a pitch, produce a project plan to generate examiner and assets, price it up, and see if it is actually feasible. -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
