Hi Guillaume,
That's interesting - the PostgreSQL training/testing that Dalibo is offering is in French?
I wonder if we could work out an agreement with Dalibo and build on the training that you have already developed, rather than re-inventing the wheel, so to speak. That way we're kind of building the unified or standardized English and French training/testing at the same time ('unified' or 'standardized' sounds better to me than 'community developed').
Just some thoughts :)
Sincerely,
Katie

Hi,

Hello all,
Not sure about this idea, but possibly a better one than having a single company (ex. Red Hat and EDB come to mind) run the show for certifications/competency rating. I like it from this respect.
There are other companies doing PostgreSQL certification. SRA in Japan, and Dalibo in France (disclaimer: I work for Dalibo) offer certification exams for their customers.
I will love the idea if you are able to, somehow, offer the training/testing in languages other than English. PostgreSQL is an international open source project and English-only training/testing is not very appropriate. This gives a huge advantage to the community's native English speakers (the goal here is to produce something 'unbiased' I thought).
Perhaps develop it in English, with input from those from non-English speaking countries on your working group, and then have it translated into multiple languages (also: be careful how you prioritize these, but if you have, say, a member from India on your working group, perhaps Hindi becomes one of the first).
Multiple languages would be a must, I totally agree. Dalibo did its own certification because the community didn't seem to be able to work on a unified one, despite many tries. I'd love to see a unified Postgres certification, and we (Dalibo) would gladly work on this project, but I also am kinda skeptical of the outcome.
Regards.

Guillaume.
