Should a testing candidate for the associate level exam (defined as the "less experienced audience" on p. 9 of the roadmap) be required to prove prior experience as either a systems administrator or involvement in any of the BSD projects?
No I don't think so, because you may scare novice BSD users to at least study BSD systems to get the first level. This is different from a person who wants to be a trainer, he MUST be involved previously and actually in any BSD project.
If they are an existing administrator, should involvement in a BSD project also be mandatory?
No, I don't think. We may ask them to get involved, but just that.
1. If yes, how much experience? 6 months? 1 year? other?
2. If yes, what could that experience be comprised of?
This ideas are excellent for BSD-Cert Trainers aspirants.
Here are some possibilities:
- proven track record on a BSD mailing list/forum/IRC channel of well researched answers to queries
- submission of patches to a BSD project's bugs database
- being an active ports/packages maintainer
- providing translation work for BSD docs, manpages, tutorials
- contributing docs, articles, tutorials, whitepapers
- having an active blog on BSD activity
- providing training, mentoring, proctoring
