[nmglug] Open Source Certification

[Jeffrey Miller]

Software.  Just some type of certificate of completion or  
achievement.  I am looking for something that isn't as gnarly as an A+  
cert.  But still will state that the holder of said cert has  
successfully built a linux box and was able to do some CLI stuff.  And  
show someone else how to do the build.  or something like that.  <:
