Re: [NOVICE] PostgreSQL Training

I think though that there is an opportunity, though, for us to perhaps
work together in developing a Postgresql training base curriculum. We
can pool some resources and perhaps develop at least a list of the
things which ought to be covered. Perhaps this can lead to books on the
subject, etc. I am thinking that an open curriculum might be something
very helpful particularly for novices. It doesn't have to lead to
certification, but it could enable third parties (including Brainbench)
to build certifications that they could charge for.

I see the potential for the development of an open curriculum (at least
in outline form) as being something that could be an immense tool for
PostgreSQL advocacy.

Whether we choose to make something of this curriculum or not is up to
us, and if there is interest, I will start a gborg project for it.
Interested parties should let me know.

If certification of curriculums is needed down the road, I think that it
would be better to make it a group effort and form some sort of
non-profit consortium of the contributors. But at the moment, I think
it is more important to make something available.

Best Wishes,
