QA Certification?

[Leam Hall]

There are several "QA Person" type certifications available. While 
certification by itself doesn't necessarily mean much in terms of skills 
it can and does often mean extra in the paycheck. In that light I'd like 
to look at existing vendor neutral QA Person type certification programs 
and get opinions on which ones actually hold weight and at the same time 
could be translated to the Fedora QA community.

For example, if we find that Cert XYZ is the industry standard then we 
can spend time going over that cert's material and translating it to 
Fedora QA activities. This would allow anyone wanting to mix a cert and 
field experience to be able to do so even better with us.

Thoughts?
