It's not that I don't like Cisco, really honest, it's just that some of their recent course changes, and cert practices seem to be nothing more than test revenue streams and of little real value.
One of the Group's foundational goals is to keep the certification affordable and available, regardless of the certificant's geographic location or native language.
Having said that, it will take a lot of research, effort, endorsements, and sponsorship by the entire BSD community and others to help bring that to fruition.
How can you help? Start by defining in your own mind the "perfect" certification process, write it up and send it to the mailing list. Think outside the box: take the best ideas of what you like in other certifications/educational processes and what you wish they had but haven't seen done before.
Spread the word. Tell your BUG, your boss, everyone you're always talking to BSD about. Have some ideas for sponsors or endorsers, tell the Group. We're working on an official "media kit", something tangible to hand out. Got some ideas for glossy brochures, white papers, success stories? Send them along.
English not your first language? Let's make this process international. We can start by translating the website into other languages.
Think you can help with something not yet mentioned on the website? Let us know, we probably need help with it :-)
