Have You Checked out CloudCred?
-
I got an e-mail from VMWare about a big announcement on 2/2 (the VMWare Online Launch Event). After registering, there was a link to join CloudCred. So I went ahead and took a peak. There are tasks you have to complete and for which you get points. I actually completed a few and won a free pen. Apparently you have chances to win a great deal of free gear.
Check it out if you like: https://www.cloudcredibility.com.
It's advertised as VMWare's gaming platform, but it seems like a pretty neat way to educate yourself about VMWare products with the potential to get free stuff.
Has anyone else used this?
Maybe we should create a MangoLassi CloudCred team.
-
I'm having a quick look now. I recommend an ML team too
-
How do we set up a team?

@scottalanmiller
After you create an account and get logged in, I believe you get auto-assigned a team you can join. You may be able to create your own from there. Or, you can click My Profile, and there is a link to create a team. -
I managed to secure the username nadnerB...
One word or two? Mango Lassi or Mangolassi?

I would guess one word - MangoLassi (just like on the home page). Scott?
-
One word.

Le invite link: https://www.cloudcredibility.com/teams/invited/e81ccdc02b58651c6cb23faa10821e99
EDIT: Ignore... it's not working -
The link brought me right back here.
-
NO luck getting the link to work.
-
When I click it, it brings me right back to ML.

What happens if you use this one?
EDIT: Righto, so I tried the original link (in a different browser) and it took me to the login page.

That's funny "slightly loopy" because one of NTG's founder's nicknames was "Loopy" spelled that way.
-
OK I joined up.. I could use some more VM knowledge.
-
I just joined. Did anyone read this - https://www.cloudcredibility.com/rules? Apparently we can challenge or get challenged by other teams. I thought that was interesting. But this should be fun I think.
Make sure you complete this task - https://www.cloudcredibility.com/tasks/detail/1919. It's 200 free points and a change to with some cool stuff (potentially a free ticket to VMWorld).
-
I should also add it appears that after their big announcement tomorrow, there will be many, many tasks in CloudCred for those looking to get a VCP-DCV. I thought I would mention it.
-
I've joined the group. I will look into these tasks later today and see what I can complete. Looks like a fun way to learn about VMware.
-
If you want to know more about vSphere 6 or VSAN, there are lots of tasks in CloudCred related to them. Oh yeah, and our team is not very active these days.

Probably because VMware isn't as exciting as it used to be 4-6 months ago. I'm curious what new Hyper-V improvements will be in Windows Server 10 (although apparently it's just going to be called "windows server", no version)
