[nycbug-talk] more on the BSD Certification

[George Rosamond]

This is from Dru. . . needless to say, we'll work out the details on
this for NYCBSDCon on Oct 11/12.

*	*	*

The BSDA certification exam is available at the following locations in
February:

SCALE: Los Angeles, California

  	Saturday, February 9 at 11:00 or 15:30

  	Seating is limited to 40 per exam session (2 sessions in total).

FOSDEM: Brussels, Belgium

  	Saturday,  February 23 at 14:30 or 16:30
  	Sunday, February 24 at 10:00 or 13:00 or 15:00

  	Seating is limted to 15 per exam session (5 sessions in total).

Registration and URLs for more information regarding the conference
locations
can be found here:

https://register.bsdcertification.org//register/events

Pre-registration is required. Don't wait til the last minute as you'll
need a
BSDCG ID first and that can take up to 24 hours to receive. Also, as exam
sessions are filled, they will disappear from the drop down menu from
which you
choose the exam location and time. If an exam time appears to be
missing, that
is the reason why.

The exam costs $75 USD to take; those who participated in the 2007 Beta
program
are eligible for a 50% discount.

Myself and Jim Brown will be proctoring in Los Angeles. Axel Gruner and
Tille
Garrels will be proctoring in Brussels. There will be BSD booths at both
conferences--if you're not ready to take the exam now, stop by anyways
to say hi and learn more about BSD certification.

For those wondering what is coming down the pipe, Linux-Tage in Chemnitz,
Germany has been confirmed for March. We will also be at Flourish in Chicago
in April--more details will be available once we know the size and
location of
the room.

Cheers,

Dru
