Dear all, Thanks for all your comments on the LPIC-2 and DevOps objectives drafts. I took a bit of time, but I've finally worked through all of your comments. A lot of them lead to improvements in the objectives. THANKS A LOT FOR ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK!!!
Today, I'll summarize the changes that were made to the objective drafts due to your feedback. I have grouped all changes in one email per exam, hoping that this makes them easier to digest than individual emails to every objective. I did my very best to address all comments that were sent to the list, if anything slipped through, please follow up. And please keep commenting on the changes and the current drafts. The end of the emails contain some open questions on which should spend some more thoughts. Please don't be irritated by the current numbering in the drafts. There were some changes to the objectives outline, with new objectives being introduced, objectives being removed, objectives being moved in between the exams. While implementing these changes, I HAVE NOT CHANGED THE NUMBERING OF THE OBJECTIVES *YET*. I will go through the entire objectives and fix the numbering when we agree that the draft is final. For now, the (sometimes odd) numbers remain as they are to ensure we can still relate comments on the list with the respective objectives. I hope you like the changes that were made, and please keep following up if you spot anything else, if you'd like to object to anything or if anything slipped through. Looking forward to your comments, thanks again for all your contributions, Fabian On Mon, Oct 23, 2023 at 7:40 PM Fabian Thorns <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > It's objective review season again, with three exams that we will update > in the next months.
