Dear users, on Thursday 1st of April, the Morfeo’s platform will be unavailable from 12h to 14h (CEST). This service downtime is related with maintenance tasks on the system.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thank you for your patience.

Hola a todos,

Como ya sabreis, la Comunidad Morfeo viene desarrollando durante el último año un conjunto de certificados en aspectos relacionados con el desarrollo de software libre[1][2]. A fin de crear un sello fuerte que respalde la calidad, estamos llevando a cabo una campaña para la acreditación de los miembros de la Comunidad Morfeo, es decir, todos aquellos que participan en un proyecto dentro de la comunidad. Este sello, emitido en estos momentos por ESI (European Software Institute), es oficial y está alineado con el que en el futuro emitirá CENATIC, por lo que resulta importante que todos los miembros de la comunidad lo obtengan.

Dado que los miembros de la Comunidad Morfeo cuentan con experiencia contrastada en software libre, se ha definido un procedimiento Express que facilite la acreditación de los mismos. Este consiste en formación e-Learning, de convocatoria abierta, que permitirá marcaros vuestro propio ritmo, haciendo hincapié en aquellos puntos que consideréis más necesarios y repasando más rápidamente aquellos que, por vuestra actividad en el proyecto, ya tengáis asimilados. Por si tenéis alguna duda, todos esto es completamente gratis.

Es importante que tanto el equipo técnico, como beta tester y personal en general realicen los cursos. El conjunto mínimo de cursos que se han propuesto es[3]:

• <todos, conociendo ya OSS>
1. Introducción al Software Libre. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición
2. Introducción a Escritorios GNU/Linux: Molinux. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición
3. Gestión de Proyectos de Software Libre. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición
4. Migración al Software Libre. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición
• <programadores conociendo ya MyMobileWeb / ezWeb>
5. Morfeo EzWeb. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición
6. MyMobileWeb. Telefónica I+D – 2010 – I Edición

Para inscribiros en los cursos solo tenéis que registraros en nuestra plataforma de e-Learning

http://aula.morfeo-project.org/moodle/login/signup.php

y seleccionar los cursos citados.

Un último aviso: Este procedimiento es solo para aquellos con experiencia verificada en OSS y las tecnologías de ezWeb y MyMobileWeb. Si estáis interesados en formar a neófitos en OSS, avisadnos.

IMPORTANTE: por tratarse de un programa de formación oficial, una vez completados los cursos, para emitir la acreditación  necesitamos la cabecera de la nómina. Solo la cabecera.

Si tenéis cualquier duda, poneros en contacto conmigo.

Un saludo.
