I am trying to work out, given the current employer insistence that people have certificates / evidence for skills etc if we should as a community come up with our own for using mastodon / fediverse and other free software tools.
I found a LaTeX template so am experimenting a little here.
No idea how we could award this, but could be some sort of internal thing, to those who have been here and interacted for say 6th months +
Just a thought.
@zleap You might be able to get some inspiration on http://upgrader.gapminder.org. On the other hand, giving out certificates is not really in the decentralised spirit :P
Because everyone has their own interpretation of how it should be used etc.
If you're setting something up, I'd rather focus on sharing knowledge, so creating a wiki with experts of people in the whole stack of fediverse technology, from digital rights activists to scientists to mods to sysadmins to code contributors?
As I have seem to have struck a chord with this, I have downloaded the source files from overleaf and put on gitlab (qoto)
