I am particularly interested in having a FreeBSD certification..
Well, let me put it this way: bsdcertification.org is run by a number of
people well known in the *BSD world as making a valuable contribution to
{Free,Open,Net,Dragonfly}BSD and others.
If you look at the list of names in the left hand column on this page:
http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=Meet%20Us
then with particular reference to FreeBSD you may well recognise:
Dan Lagille (Freshports, BSD Diary)
"Langille", actually --- and you forgot "BSDCan". http://www.langille.org/
Scott Long (leading FreeBSD committer: wrote large chunks of SCSI
system I believe)
http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/
Dru Lavigne (Wrote 'BSD Hacks' and 'Big Scarey Daemons' OnLamp column)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dru_Lavigne
Wes Peters (Another leading FreeBSD committer)
I couldn't find a good home page for Wes, but agree
with Matt's evaluation. Wes is a member of FreeBSD
core team, last I recall, as well. Perhaps someone knows
his URI.
Jeremy C Reed (Leading FreeBSD Advocacy person)
http://pilchuck.reedmedia.net/jeremy/
Greg Lehey (Author of 'The Complete BSD'. Former member of core@,
well known on this list)
http://www.lemis.com/~grog/
(from memory, heh. Seriously, fascinating collection of material ---
the web would be a much worse place if disaster struck and
Greg had no backups).
Marshall Kirk McKusick (co-author of 'The Design and Implementation
of the FreeBSD Operating System')
http://www.mckusick.com/
The other site you mention, "bsdcertification.com" is run by
Jared Barneck, according to whois. His home page is
at http://www.rhyous.com/. In 4+ years in FreeBSD, I've
not heard of Jared; that is not to say he should be disqualified
from consideration---it's possible that he runs a fine program.
However, I *have* had dealings with all of the others
above except Mr. Peters, and have found them knowledgeable,
friendly, and deeply concerned about the quality and growth
of FreeBSD.
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey
