The RHA is prohibitively expensive on the small scale, but we are thinking of trying to get it implemented on the state level. With greater numbers comes a lower price. The other neat aspect is a cost recovery model where every cert your students take partially pays for the next years annual fee. I would like an open source Linux cert option like LPI, but I'm not sure it'll have the general name recognition that Red Hat can provide. The way I see it, we need a corporate face on Linux that can be recognized in the boardroom or by the non-IT interviewer... -----Original Message----- From: owner-seul-edu@seul.org [mailto:owner-seul-edu@seul.org] On Behalf Of Glenn Iriye Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 8:16 AM To: 'seul-edu@seul.org' Subject: RE: [seul-edu] Open Source Applications Certification I spoke to a sales rep from Red Hat and although he was interested in the project, the cost was prohibitively high. That is one of the reasons why we are trying to find alternative ways of delivering curriculum. I have two teachers here who deliver the CISCO Networking Academy course and who have agreed to attempt to deliver the Open Source course alongside CISCO. It should be interesting. -----Original Message----- From: David Bucknell [mailto:david@members.iteachnet.org] Sent: June 10, 2003 5:59 AM To: seul-edu@seul.org Subject: RE: [seul-edu] Open Source Applications Certification Dear Glen, We are interested in doing something similar to you. We asked about the Red Hat for Education program but never heard from them. Here are a few documents that might be a start on the resources a "Linux" course might need: http://opensourceschools.org/index.php?topic=docs Best wishes, David Bucknell For Technology and Curriculum Rose Marie Academy, Thailand -- http://www.iteachnet.org http://members.iteachnet.org/webzine * http://opensourceschools.org * http://www.rose-marie.ac.th * ------------------------------------------------ http://members.iteachnet.org/ http://www.opensourceschools.org/
