TDF has chosen not to provide enterprise support directly, but it will

am working at this program (unfortunately, it is taking an awful amount
of time for problems not related to TDF).
Again, just to have more info: will it be a *paid* certification?
Yes, we see it as a source of revenues for TDF, in order to fund
development and other activities, although we must be careful as there
will be different levels of involvement (and different fees, including
zero fees for people and companies already contributing to the project
with activities and developers). Also, several TDF contributors will
work on the certification process. Difficult task, but challenging for
everyone, as it is really a chance to define a new business model for
FOSS projects.
