Hi everyone, There have been some ideas being thrown around for anywhere from months to years and I thought I'd get some feedback from people before I pushed for any of them.
What does everyone (anyone?) think of: 1. Releasing exam content (ie. questions) under an "open" license. I spoke with our psychometrician and others about the idea of creating a pool of 3,000 to 5,000 questions which were all publicly available. With this many questions in the pool, memorising all of the answers would not really work without (acquiring?) an understanding of how the technology worked. In this case, I'd propose a pilot project like thus: 1. Pick an exam 2. Attempt a community project to create, review and assess the items. 3. Publish a couple of "open" versions of the exam along with the usual versions. If things work out, we could try it with other exams. If they don't work out, we stick with the current model. On a personal note, this mitigates the risk of this being a really bad idea for LPI while still trying it out. As opposed to just releasing everything now and then finding out it's a bad idea. 2. Creating a stand-alone "virtualization" cert based on the 304 exam. I think there is enough "demand" from people that aren't interested in the breadth of LPIC-2 but are very interested in the virtualization part of Linux. For this idea, maybe have the 101 exam (or LPIC-1) as part of the requirement...or not. I noticed a week or two ago that RH has a RHCVA which isn't dependent on obtaining the RHCE (for some reason, I always thought it did require an RHCE) so there is a precedent for this idea.
