This is a good idea, but we need to be careful about sending Linux people out
who aren't "qualified." I don't necessarily mean RHCE's, but some basic
modicum of knowledge/experience so that Linux doesn't become a bad word
because of a bad experience.
It's also important that missionaries who do go out prevent people from
looking over their shoulder as installation/support takes place. This can
make doing any troubleshooting or even basic installing difficult, and can
lead to a bad experience....
Maybe we could have a "Suncoast LUG Certification?" Nothing so thorough as
RHCE, but basic minimum level of expertise? I would recommend this even if
people were going out for free.
Sound good?
