Greetings CNCF workgroup! I've attached several people on CC on this thread that are certainly interested in beta testing the exam + materials when the MOOC is ready. Will there be an official sign up process posted to the list, or is this initial signal enough? All five applications on CC have communicated with me they are interested and if you're looking for a central point of contact to coordinate the communications I'm happy to act as that parlance/proxy. Thanks and all the best, Charles -- Juju Charmer Canonical Group Ltd. Ubuntu - Linux for human beings | www.ubuntu.com conjure-up canonical-kubernetes | jujucharms.com
