[Cert] It's all over!

[Adam Glass]

Hi all,

Congratulations on getting through the study course!  I hope you all
do great on the test and get certified!

Congratulations too to Larry for his leadership and organization.  We
would definitely like to have a Linux+ presentation for the general
FLUX group.

Along those same lines, I'd encourage everyone who participated in the
cert sessions to recycle the work they already did and turn it into a
short talk for the general FLUX meetings.  As I recall, each of you
summarized a chapter or two for the cert group.  Our new "two short
talks per meeting" format would be a great fit for this.  We now need
twice as many speakers, and you have already created the material for
several talks!

Larry's idea of doing more small certification groups is a great one.
We can discuss creating new e-mail lists or having several "tracks"
use the cert list at the same time.  I'm leaning toward more lists.

If you would like to re-present your chapter summaries to the main
FLUX group, please either reply here or send me e-mail directly at
adamglass@gmail.com .  I can work with you to turn notes into slides
and so forth.

Thank you, and congratulations!
--Adam
