Open Stack

Hi,

There is a free "certification" program called CloudU that Rackspace is
prompting.
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/cloudu/curriculum

This is a free program as far as I know. It has some 10-sih lesson? The
content is about Cloud rather than Openstack, but worth looking at it. Why
don't you send an email Ben Kepes?
http://www.itcertificationmaster.com/free-cloud-training-and-certification/

He started CloudU, maybe he would be interested in getting involved with
your certification program as well. Note that Rackspace does provide OS
certification, but they cost money; you understand where I am going even if
Mr. Ben Kepes finds that interesting. Also, you have to consider what
certification means to people and to your students. If this were just some
workshop I think you can get away with it (but definitely can't use OS
trademark without asking the Foundation, that's pretty obvious). But if you
are charging fee and expecting people to claim to be OS certified (that's
what certification is about) and is used as a document for employment, you
have to make it very clear that your certification is nothing more than
self-evaluation. I don't have a good word for it so let's keep it that way.

You should actually contact local college and see if they are interested in
setting one up with you.
