In my first blog posting, I wrote that input from our community would be critical to the success of the program. Over the last few days, there has been a considerable amount of input regarding a couple of facets of the program. Many potential partners expressed concerns about the minimum certification requirements, and the quarterly license requirements. Both of those elements have been removed from the program.

At the end of the day, there was a lot of communal energy focused on things other than our mutual goal of making each other successful. Now that things are getting fine tuned, we can get down to the business of driving Professional Edition implementations for customers.

Thank you everyone for your input and continued support.

Doug,

This is VERY good news. I look forward to hearing more about the program, and some of the other items that are not fully defined yet.

Re: Modifications to the DotNetNuke Fusion Program

I think enterprise level DNN sites will want to have a level of confidence in the partners that the requirement of multiple regularly certified people would provide. I think that was a valid goal. I don’t think it should be dropped all together

However, I think there is also value in providing certification for the one man shop, a sort of associate partner or something. Enterprise level customers could decide whether the certified one man shop would be worth the risk of him getting hit by a truck or getting lost at sea. Or not available for a phone call cause he is on the golf course.

@michael jackson

You make a really great point. That was the genesis of the idea behind the certifications. I am sure that a some point in the future we will revisit this. I think that perhaps we tried to do too much at once which became a distraction. For now let's all focus on getting everyone aboard that wants to be a part of Fusion. There are exciting times ahead that will benefit everyone!

Thanks for your comment.
