[BSDCert] Open Source degrees

[chris]

Hi

I have been reading about the new Linux Masters degree in Australia. 
http://smh.com.au/news/breaking/australian-unis-linux-masterclass-a-first/2006/02/15/1139890789209.html

Interestingly Novell are working in partnership with the university and 
students will also get CLE certified. I wonder if similar collaborations 
and partnerships with universities should be a target market area for 
the growth of BSD certification?   In the UK the open university 
<http://www.open.ac.uk/about/ou/>is the largest distance learning 
institution and offers open source 
<http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01TT381_8_0> courses 
already?  Collaboration <http://www.open.ac.uk/about/ou/p4.shtml>with 
universities could help market BSD certification and deliver teaching 
and learning resources. While BSD certification may not have the 
financial resources to put into a Microsoft/Cisco Academy structure,  
institutions such as the open university clearly do have  resources and 
this begs the question are collaborations such as in Australia, evidence 
of where BSD certification should be going?
