      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/blogs/communities/2008/03/24/another-new-vmware-community-customer-education</link>
      <description>Check out the new &lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/certedu/customered" title="Community for VMware Customer Education"&gt;Customer Education&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; community under VMTN -&amp;gt; Technical Training &amp;#38; Certification.  Per the introduction - &lt;a href="http://communities.vmware.com/thread/134196" class="jive-link-thread"&gt;Welcome to the Customer Education forum&lt;/a&gt; - by community host, &lt;a class="jive-link-external" href="http://communities.vmware.com/people/brianriceca"&gt;Brian Rice&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Greetings, all. I am VMware's Education Services Product Manager; I've been working in VMware's customer education program, as an instructor, course developer, and now product manager, since 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Through this forum, I hope to get feedback and suggestions from VMware customers and partners about how our program could serve them better. Example topics: What courses should we offer that we presently don't? How could we improve our current courses? Are we offering training in the right formats: instructor-led, live online, self-paced online ("eLearning"), or blends? Why don't we have training in your hometown?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>New VMware Communities</title>
      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/blogs/communities/2008/03/19/new-vmware-communities</link>
      <description>Hello, Community Members,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am pleased to announce several new communities that you have been anticipating for a while:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/certedu/certification/vcp" title="VMware Certified Professional community"&gt;VCP: VMware Certified Professional&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: now the &lt;b&gt;official, central location&lt;/b&gt; for all VCP-related FAQs, questions, discussions, moderated by the VMware VCP program leaders. This is located under the new &lt;a class="jive-link-community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/certedu" title="VMware customer technical education &amp; certification forums"&gt;Training &amp; Certification&lt;/a&gt;   category.  Look out for the upcoming &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff"&gt;Customer Education&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; community!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vi/esxi3.5" title="VMware ESXi™ 3.5 OS-independent hypervisor for 32-bit hardware"&gt;VI: VMware ESXi™ 3.5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: no more digging through the catch-all ESX Server 3.x community for 3i answers!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/entdesk/thinapp/forum"&gt;VMware ThinApp: Discussion Forum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: technically a "Public Beta" community, this is a community for providing your feedback directly to the product team!  Product Manager, Ed Albanese, is all ears.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strike&gt;c-2553&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: a community focused on VDM, the &lt;i&gt;connection manager software component of VDI&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll be hearing about more new communities in the future, right here on the VMware Communities Blog. Let us know what you think!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;Badsah Mukherji, Sr. Community Manager&lt;/h6&gt;</description>
