The badges would be a great idea to raise awareness imo! > 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? I'd not like tracking this, personally. Back on HP's ITRC there was a great "answering" community, and I think SE can't compare to that. I'd rather stay out of the numbers game, but *of course* it would shine if the LOPSA members try to give the best replies, whereever they pop up. > 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? Generally I think we could take the niche of "best practices", i.e. like the recent topic on irc about how to really wire a rack, etc. We have many experienced people and by throwing our weight at some "craft" manuals, we could make a big difference. > 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. I think that alone will not work out. > And, just to stir the pot, what would our endorsement mean, exactly? cannot answer. :> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
