[BSDCert] status update

[Dru]

Just a quick email to update the list on what is happening with BSD 
Certification.

While things may seem quiet on the list, the BSDCG has been very busy 
negotiating the contracts and other details needed to publish the BSDA 
exam. There should be a flurry of press releases shortly as things get 
finalized. I also hope to make at least one announcement at the upcoming 
BSDCan next week in Ottawa during either the talk or the BoF on BSD 
Certification.

We've also updated the certification tab to reflect the current status so 
check it out if you haven't been at the website lately.

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed so far to the donation 
drive. We are still awaiting IRS 501(c)(3) status and it looks like it may 
be a few months yet before that is finalized. In the meantime, we could 
really use a financial boost to help us meet our target goal and to 
prevent further delays in the exam. If you haven't donated, consider 
making a donation and if you have, consider publicizing the need for funds 
in an appropriate forum.

Any questions, feel free to bring them up on the list or send me an email.

Cheers,

Dru
