[Bf-education] Blender Certification - Pushing Forward

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I'm all in for freedom of choice here. It's not a core value for a  
trainer/training support program to demand all members to submit open  
content. We should encourage it though, and definitely *only* accept  
free/open content in our own wiki and download or hosting service.

How about that?
