Bruno Scap on Building Email Infrastructure

6:45 PM, Suspenders Restaurant
111 Broadway in Manhattan

Organizations and individuals rely on e-mail, and while Google Mail and 
similar hosted solutions might be a good alternative, sometimes e-mail 
needs to be hosted in-house. The focus of this talk is building a 
reliable, scalable, and distributed e-mail infrastructure using open 
source off-the-shelf tools.

Bruno Scap helps companies achieve greater business value from IT. He 
works with executives and top managers to maximize the business value 
from the computing technologies and services. He can be reached at bruno

August 31, 2010 - BSD Professional Certification Requirements Document 
Published
Press Release     English

BSD Professional Certification Requirements Document Published The BSD 
Certification Group (BSDCG) is pleased to announce the publication of 
the official examination objectives for the BSD Professional (BSDP) 
Certification.
The 78 page document outlines 11 knowledge domains, each containing a 
number of objectives, that form the basis of the certification. The 
document, a collaborative effort by members of the BSD community, is a 
followup effort to the BSDP Job Task Analysis report published earlier 
this year.

"The BSDP Certification Requirements Document provides a comprehensive 
set of objectives that a BSD Professional should master, ranging from 
general system administration to advanced security and system 
maintenance," said Babak Farrokhi, a seasoned BSD administrator and 
author of 'Network Administration with FreeBSD 7'.

Set to launch in 2011, the BSD Professional certification exam has been 
in development for over two years. Since the launch of the BSD Associate 
exam in 2008, there has been a continual effort to put together a 
certification for the next level of achievement for BSD system 
administrators.

"The BSD Professional certification is aimed at assessing practical 
skills of senior level BSD system administrators," said Jim Brown, BSDCG 
board member. "With the publication of these objectives, the BSD 
Certification Group is aiming to produce a high quality certification, 
giving the computing industry a new standard for excellence in system 
administration."

The BSDP Requirements document is available as a downloadable PDF in 
English.

works with the BSD and sysadmin communities in order to provide a 
practical and relevant certification.
