Hi Frans,

I work in the Higher Education (HE) sector at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Ireland (www.cit.ie) and I'm also the organiser of OpenStack Ireland meetups (http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Ireland/). At CIT we run various cloud related academic programmes (http://cloud.cit.ie) which are delivered online to a global audience. For sometime now I have been thinking about offering an online course related to OpenStack and would be delighted to hear views from you and others about this suggestion. Your ideas about certification are great but we probably would need to focus on the curriculum first.

One idea that I have had is to explore the possibility of setting up and running a free MOOC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course) similar to https://www.coursera.org/. This would allow us to reach a scalable global audience. Coming from the HE sector I can help with certification and have extensive knowledge of online delivery, that's my day job!

Regards,
Tim

hi all

I am working with Education, take a look www.jeni-academy.org

now i am thinking to create OpenSTack + CLoudFoundry certification,
that we will give to the teacher in every school (targeting vocational
highschool/secondary school and polytechnics).

any one can work together for this? because I want to put logo in our
certification

for OpenStack, where is the place i can ask for this permission?

this program usually part of my experience create user group,

every school or region of state will become regional academy = state
based user group,


I love to work together with anyone outside Indonesia, for smiliar
work, so we can create one content, one program, and better result.


West JAva State only, have 263 schools , and around 12.000 school
target all over Indonesia, that will be interesting work, around
500.000 student.

right now they focus is "IaaS", and our focus in JAva User Group/JENI is PaaS.

Microsoft asks me to put Azure, but they cannot provide the license
for education, so I give the rest of the network to OpenStack.. plus
CloudFoundry


Right now we use Ubuntu..

NB: I wish Redhat interest with this, but I email to RH SEA, no
program for this yet in our region.



We have create a free material to setup, deploy, setup OpenSTack and
CloudFoundry, the missing thing is
