It has been my dream from the creation of GroupStudy that the members
would share study materials. I will donate a web server and space for
the project. About a year ago I reserved the name studylabs.org for
such a project.
I think we should have various teams working on different labs based
upon technology.
Something like:
1. IGP
2. EGP
3. Security
4. ISDN
5. Voice
6. DLSW
7. MISC (queuing, multicast, etc)
Geoff, will you head up the project? I will setup the website for you.
Take care,
Paul

Subject: Call for Volunteers to produce Free Labs for the Networking
Community
Listmembers:
With the current discussion of onerous/unenforcable/illegal licensing
agreements for lab preparation material at a zenith, I want to take this
opportunity to put out a call for contributors to a new project: a
constantly
evolving set of labs copylefted under the GPL and distributed free of
charge.
What I envision is a loose-knit board of technical reviewers drawn
primarily
from the pool of current CCIEs and other acknowledged experts both to
contribute lab content and to review other content that is received for
relevance and accuracy. The amount of time spent is entirely up to the
volunteer.
All work that is submitted will be credited to its author and
distributed
absolutely free of charge, probably by CVS. The rights will remain with
the
author. This project will include both tutorials and hands-on lab
scenarios.
I am working at getting a web forum up as a central clearinghouse where
ideas
can be contributed and a listserv for the reviewers to communicate
through.
I see this as a terrific opportunity to develop a strong community of
engineers that can advance the standards of training by providing
top-notch
material to everyone regardless of financial situation. Because there
is no
need for "subscriptions" or any other quasi-legal tomfoolery and the
review
and delivery method will be electronic, it will be a simple matter to
keep the
material up-to-date with any changes Cisco makes to the program.
If you wish to act on the review board, contribute material or be part
of the
community that uses it please drop me a line at gpl_labs@yahoo.com
telling me
who you are and what you wish to do. To make it easier for me to manage
my
email, please indicate in the subject whether you wish to be a REVIEWER,
CONTRIBUTOR (or both) or USER.
I will contact the reviewers and contributors shortly and the users as
soon as
the web forum is up.
Thank you for your time!
Geoff Zinderdine
CCIE #10410
