 Okay, so there are a few new things happening around LibreOffice certification. Let me start from an overview of what is the situation today. We have a certification going on since a few years. This certification was started in a rather silent mode just because we wanted to see if it was working. The project was as we designed it was okay. We started to certify individuals for their commitment and contribution. We started certifying people in basically three areas, development and support, level three support, migrations and training. The objective of this certification, which is actually the running certification, but from tomorrow it will be slightly different. To increase the perceived quality of the ecosystem, allow skill community members to sell value at the services around LibreOffice. On the other hand, free the individual responsible for the migration to LibreOffice from the global responsibility of the project. If you manage a migration or deployment of LibreOffice with the help of certified people, this reduces your burden in terms of responsibility inside the company. It's a mechanism that all the people that are familiar with the process have experienced. What is peculiar about LibreOffice certification is that it's the first and still the unique one, the only one from an independent free office, free and open source software community. The other certifications are from a company and of course they are seen by the company as a source of revenue and a source of affiliation or stronger relationship. So we have developed a different certification model which is working, I would say rather well, but we have found some spots where it can be improved and we are working in that area. The certification is a way of regulating the quality of value added services and to ensure that these services are conformable transparent criteria. Of course certification is different between developers and other migrators and trainers. The program in general is overseen by the board of directors through a certification committee. The certification recognizes the competence but it's not binding for the document foundation for the actions of the individual. So if you are certified, you are responsible for what you're doing and so the quality of the value added services is a responsibility of the certified individuals. The certification path has always been easier for TDF members and it will become not just easier but shorter in the future for TDF members. So individuals are certified based on criteria set by the engineering steering committee for development and basically the criteria is quality of the code you are committing and by the certification committee for migrations and trainings. The prerequisites are defined and are updated by the certification committee. Certification lasts for 24 months from the time of the appointment and is automatically renewed if the activity is ongoing. In the case of lack of activity, certified professionals will be requested to go through a new certification review. So far apart from developers, in some cases developers that were certified were not contributing any more to the project so their certification has expired. But for migrations and trainings, all the people are still active around the project. So for the time being, all the certification for migrations and trainings have been renewed automatically and most of the certification for development have been renewed automatically. The certification committee, I'm chairing the committee together with Lottar, Lottar Becker who is also the document foundation chairman. Members of the certification committee are Sophie Gauthier, Olivier Allot, Marina Latini, Gustavo Pacheco, Eric Sanne and Franklin Wang from Eric and Franklin are from Taiwan. Olivier and Gustavo from Brazil, Sophie from France, Lottar from Germany, myself and Marina and myself from Italy. Then we have three developers, Jan Olesowski, Stefan Bergman and Toast and Behrens. We definitely need to add some people to the members, especially for migrations and trainings. Just to summarize, these are the, is the profile of a certified developer. So is, of course, is able to develop new features, the research solutions and it's, let's say that the profile of a certified developer, the profile of a senior developer. A senior developer who is contributing on a rather stable basis to LibreOffice. A migration professional is able to coordinate the enterprise migration process and it's basically a project manager for the migration process. May not be able as an individual to provide all the skills that are needed but is able to create a team and develop a team for the certification. A trainer, of course, is able to teach the use of LibreOffice at different levels and to develop training materials. Is also able to help fighting resistance to change and is also able to explain the advantages of free open source software over proprietary solutions. This is something which is rather important. So certified people are brand ambassadors at the end. If someone who certified is not able to give valuable support for migration and training. And this of course includes development because development is key for migrations. This will reflect badly to the for the LibreOffice project. So and this is of course the reason why if someone's performance is certified professional performances are not reflecting the expected quality, we will not renew the certification. As I said so far this didn't happen. Apart from people leaving the project for personal reasons or for work related reasons. And this will also happen in the future. We will maintain the level of attention on quality in the future as well. Let's say that during the last couple of years, we have seen an increase in the number an increase in increasing interest in certification, especially for migrations and trainings. We have seen an increasing interest in some cases people were were reflecting the prerequisites and therefore either they've been certified or they're waiting to be certified at the next certification review. There are a few people who are just waiting for the date we will set the certification review. Other people were applying for reasons that were not related or not specifically related to certification as we were intending. Which is a high level professional certification, but where in any cases we're asking to be certified for good reasons. Because they were using the certification to develop the LibreOffice presence in a market in an area or they were wanting to organize some activities in schools or universities. So looking at this evolution of application, there are a few new things that are happening around certification. The first one, and this is of course one of the reasons why Linux Professional Institute is sponsoring the LibreOffice conference. We will start working with the Linux Professional Institute. Of course, at the moment we will work with them to extend the reach of LibreOffice certification and to start providing LibreOffice certification for end users. The Document Foundation will never be able to provide certification for end users because of the numbers. Working with LPI we will leverage each other competence to improve certification for end users of desktop productivity. So we will start discussing and working together at the syllabus for the certification and also at the contents of certification. In the future when we will have face-to-face conferences, the idea is also to organize end users certification sessions at the conference. And these sessions will be managed by LPI. The reality is that LPI and the Document Foundation speak the same language. Our objective is to increase the penetration of free open source software through certifying people, recognizing people for their skills. Of course we have just started the collaboration, so there will be updates. We will probably start meeting on a regular basis with LPI to discuss the activities. There are three talks by LPI representatives during the conference. One is tomorrow and the other two are on Saturday morning. So if you are curious about LPI or want to ask questions about LPI, I invite you to attend these sessions. Then there are a few updates that we will implement as TDF. So there will be a basic LibreOffice certified level of certification and two accesses. And this will be a first step which will be compulsory for everyone apart from TDF members. So we are developing and actually we have created a training syllabus for this level. We will create training videos so to access the LibreOffice certified entry level, you will have to attend training videos which will be provided through Udemy. The choice of Udemy it is because it looks like almost a standard for certification. If you find on Udemy certification trainings for Microsoft Oracle and many other software. These classes will have a cost, not a high cost, and the benefit will go to the Document Foundation business entity. Of course we will be happy to provide this training for free in geographies where the people have not an income which is enough to pay for the Udemy or which makes paying the Udemy online classes two expenses for them. So we will be happy to work with applicants to solve this problem, but definitely we want to increase the number of people that is certified. But by doing this we need to have a basic certification level which is not the current professional level. So we will keep Migration Professional and Professional Training as the certification level for people that have hands-on experience in migrations and trainings. People with LibreOffice certification, so with a basic level, will be able to apply for professional certification after one year from the first review. But they have to get experience on a specific project. So in that year they have to work on a migration project, they have to work on a training project and they have to provide extensive documentation about the project. This again is extremely important. We are happy to recognize that you have worked on a project, but if we don't get the documentation about the project, so how you have managed the migration, how you have managed the training. Of course, if your documents are owned by a company because you are working for a company, we are happy to look at different documents that you provide on a specific basis for being certified, but we need the documents to certify you. Only TDF members with full prerequisites, so they have to be compliant with prerequisites, so they have to be professional, they have to have hands-on experience on migrations and trainings, can directly access professional certification. If a TDF member has no prerequisite compliance, it will have to go through the LibreOffice certified process as any other person. Last difference, we will create and certify people as professional trainers on a single application, so there will be a LibreOffice writer, professional trainer, calc, impressed, draw, base and macro professional trainer. Of course, if your skills are horizontal, you will get the LibreOffice professional trainer title as before. We will also create certification titles for senior migration professional and senior professional trainer for the certified professional who contribute as volunteers to the certification project. So the people that are on the certification committee will see their title becoming senior migration and senior professional trainer, but also other people and we expect and we hope that there are other people who will be contributing to the certification project. We will get that title. Of course, we will update all certification related documents to reflect all what I've said so far. Something is already in place, something will be in place soon on the certification area on the web. I will, I'm also working and I will start releasing incremental version of an index of documents which can be used for certification. We used to have a bibliography on the website. The bibliography is still there but many links to documents have expired, so at the moment the bibliography is not linking to any document. The suggestion is to search for the documents because they may have moved in the websites, but that bibliography will be implemented with additional documents that have been published during the last 10 years. And not only there will be an index for all the videos, the training videos that are covering LibreOffice, there are many training videos which are freely available online and there will be an index. I've already started, I think I've indexed around 300 videos and so I will, in the next few days, I will publish that index but it will be implemented further during the next month. And also I will start publishing the bibliography with the name of the documents and hopefully links to the documents when these links are stable enough to be uploaded to the network. So these are the announcements about the LibreOffice certification. The idea is to have all these in place during the first, at different stages, during the last quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. So between October and March 22. Thank you for listening and if there are questions, I'm happy to answer them. Otherwise you can write me and Lothar in the future. We will be happy to answer your questions.
