An open source curriculum and community-based certification scheme for Drupal was proposed. The proposal involved developing competencies organized around key areas, with maintainers responsible for updates. Training providers could share compatible materials and assess individuals' competencies through portfolios. Certification would be community-based and representatively democratic. Benefits included easier entry for new members, easier hiring for clients, and ensuring the direction of certification. Challenges and a discussion of practical implementation were discussed. Participants were invited to join further discussion on the topic.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Drupal community used to support trust networks based on traditional ties (patches, modules, DrupalCon presentations)
- Drupal growing faster than available Drupal talent Drupal clients not sure what skills are needed for projects Emergence of 9-5 Drupal professionals without attachments to community, their skills are “invisible” through normal means
- C
- Noble Prog (UK) Drupal Kata
- “ Certification exams go beyond training by providing a tangible measurement of a technician's knowledge of a specific IT support function or product. Certification programs establish standards for IT education and play an important role in developing a qualified workforce. Employers, IT professionals and consumers of IT services all benefit from certification.”
- Read cisco certification
- All models we look at might fit somewhere on this scale.– we can keep this in mind when looking at the various models
- Cisco CCNA, Microsoft’s MSCE, LPIC by Linux Professional Institute, Novell CLA, Adobe’s ACE. Ubuntu Certified Professional (UCP) – This used to be tied to the LPIC 1+ 2 – but the community wanted an Ubunto only certifcations. Certification can be a validation of credibility and reliable indicator of proficiency. Certifications can bolster resumes and facilitate career advancement. Certification can be an unreliable metric of someone’s abilities on the job.
- Cisco certification is often given as an example of a certification that is “valued”. Why? Because it’s a requirement for partner discounts. The more Cisco certified staff you have, the better discounts you get.
- Let’s take an in-depth look at a similar project.
- Quick to next
- They are most of them quite similar. Umbraco – training program, delivered by partners, and a course with certification tied together.
- is a performance-based evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration skills and knowledge. Candidates perform a number of routine system administration tasks and are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria.
- Goal- to bring together wordpress in a community to share learning resources, and come together as a community.
- The certification is based on others in community “vouching” for your work. There is no paper based exam, but you must pay to be a member.
- Automattic maintains this directory. To apply you must spell WordPress correctly – and link to your profile, and describe your company. This is not “certification” per se. But makes it easier to FIND people.
- All models we look at might fit somewhere on this scale.– we can keep this in mind when looking at the various models. We have a range of options, from classroom based examination, and community affiliation and reputation
- A full public launch is expected early next year. Just released alpha this month. Today's learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. But it's often difficult to get credit for it. (Mark is exec dir of mozilla foundation) See also Mark Surman’s presentation http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/open-badges-board-slides/
- “ badges could serve as a living transcript for each learner, telling a much more complete story about that person than traditional degrees or transcripts.” – Erin Knight. If someone has a CS degree, do they actually know javascript?
- http://badges.p2pu.org/ - There is broad recognition of the need for alternative paths to certification and ways to legitimize the learning that is happening outside of formal channels, including informal and social learning. Both P2PU and Mozilla are committed to providing these open, free and personalized opportunities for learning, as well as making them ‘count’ in more formal contexts. We think badges (and associated assessments) can be a way to help capture, formalize and translate the learning that is occurring through these alternative (and awesome) channels.
- It’s built on Mozilla’s identity software.
- ORCID Initiative represents a community effort to establish an open, independent registry that is adopted and embraced as the industry’s de facto standard. Our goal is to resolve the systemic name ambiguity, by means of assigning unique identifiers linkable to an individual's research output, to enhance the scientific discovery process and improve the efficiency of funding and collaboration.
- They have tested this internally, such as on this design challenge project.
- Holding a bachelor’s degree in computer science is not necessarily an indication that you’re skilled in JavaScript P2PU is the first official issuer - Description: Assessment Type: PEER - any peer can vote on submitted work. The badge is issued after 1 YES vote. Assessment Challenge: * Post a link to a source repository demonstrating individual contribution. * Write a short narrative (couple of sentences) about your contribution to the project. Assessment Rubric: Work is this individual's own work/contribution
- You may be wondering – but really WHO is going to do this…?? Trusted organizations and commercial providers seems obvious… but what about peers?
- The Views team created the Views bud squad to help triage maintenance of the issue queue. Discrete tasks Clear outcomes Validated
- Open Hatch is doing just that. Providing clear in roads for participation.
- See for example some “training missions” – learn some version control, learn to make a patch. They are solving the same problems… training missions here are universal to all software projects, for example writing patches or using Git.
- We can add tasks here as well.
- Asheesh co-started it.. He also mentored development on this project as part of Google’s summer of code [missions]. In fact open hatch is a part of his larger goals to diversify open source in general. If we can make it easier for *all* kinds of people to connect to open source, we not only gain in diversity, we also gain in numbers.
- This could be have an enormous impact on the project. We have to keep the people in mind.
- As you look at these various models, you may start to wonder… what if we applied these to our situation? What if we applied all of them?
- Now we’lll break into small groups
