What do people think of the following idea: An 'add-on' idea has been floated around by a few people of making this part of an "OSS Professional Association" with a code of ethics and regional 'advocacy' groups organizing to raise the awareness of our roles as true professionals amongst gov't bodies, trade organizations, etc.
If this were to be set up, does anyone have strong opinions one way or another on whether this should be an LPI focused group or a more inviting group that is separate from LPI where you have two levels of "professional association": OSS Professional At this level, people have the credentials of being a 'well rounded' OSS professional. This is the full membership level where people with LPIC-2 or higher, RHCE or higher, and other similarly credentialled OSS professionals. OSS Professional "in training" This would be similar to what we do in Canada for graduates of engineering schools that don't have all of the experience necessary for full licensure as a professional engineer. This level is for people that want to show that they are on the 'track' of becoming a professional but still have some experience to gain. LPIC-1, RHCT and similar "entry-level" certs would be required for this level. If you think this is a good idea, should there be another level for unaccreditted "supporters/members" or should the "in training" level allow anyone with the intent of proving and improving their competence? If you think this is a bad idea, please speak up, too.
