I agree that StackExchange does a great job filling this space. What if we work out a way to have LOPSA badges for our SE profiles? It would raise awareness of the organization, true?
It would be interesting to see how LOPSA folks compare to the rest of the SE population. How many questions do we answer, what is our reputation/value to SE? If there is a level of LOPSA related questions that don't fit into the current SE lineup, maybe we propose a new channel: Infrastructure Exchange? It does make me wonder, does LOPSA need to be in the "answer each other's questions" market? Or should we endorse an existing high value solution? Could LOPSA then focus on other issues, like raising awareness of the profession, certification, etc. And, just to stir the pot, what would our endorsement mean, exactly? — Mason Turner On Sep 10, 2012, at 2:03 PM, Brandon Allbery <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Gary Pitman <[email protected]> wrote: > Has there been any discussion on possibly throwing up a online forum sort of > like linuxquestions.org but more specialised to the sysadmin world and OS > agnostic? > > It might be a nice way to promote the organisation. > > The problem there is that you're immediately competing with StackExchange > (superuser and serverfault in particular).
