Not often that I get a chance to actually pay a lot of attention to what is going on around here. With the upcoming big day in just over 24 hours I get to poke around a little more than usual. It is really encouraging to see so much activity!! I have never seen it so busy before.

We, at MangoLassi, have added two new categories by demand today. One is "Self Promotion" and it is exactly what it sounds like. Are you an IT Pro and want to toot your own horn? Go for it, tell us about your project, blog, posting, skills, etc. Are you a service provider, let us know about yourself. Are you a vendor? Post your news here, let us know what you offer, etc. This is a pretty no-holds barred group so what you shouldn't post elsewhere you can post here. We aren't making any real rules around it and will only address that if things become a problem. Give it a try.

Secondly we have the "Reviews" group. A lot of people have been asking for a way to do reviews and while this is very ad hoc, it serves a purpose and rather than duplicating reviews capabilities that other sites have we figured we would do it in more of the conversation system. This way people can post a free form review on anything and it can spark a conversation which may, we hope, be more valuable. Allow people to really get to the meat of a review and maybe even solve problems or uncover issues. This also allows anything to be reviewed and keeps reviews specific.

I should probably mention that, while the community here is vendor neutral, even an open community like ours has to run on real technology and Pertino is a part of our network stack. The application and database infrastructure is managed via a fully software defined network from Petino. Thanks @josh and co. for helping make technology like this possible.

The CompTIA A+ is a well known certification in Bench and IT work and this page is to provide a ToC to a popular free training series for it. A great way to learn and collaborate on learning.
