Community
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

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
