Feedback Week is upon us again - this week we will ask you some questions and give you all the space to give us feedback about anything related to Icinga! (You can always leave us feedback anyway, but feel extra invited to do so this week!) We’re starting off with a poll here: In order to prepare some topics for the Community Call on friday, we’d love to know what you are the most curious about! There is still time to register as well, [go do that!](https://icinga.com/community/events/#community-call) ## What kind of topics would you like us to discuss during the Community Call this friday? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.icinga.com/t/feedback-week-thread/13473/1))_ Comment below if you have any specific questions! ---

In the past we’ve had quite a few Meetups around the world, where Icinga users would get together and talk about their experiences. We love to see that, and are happy to help with organising and to send some merch, and maybe even some people from Icinga your way!

Our [Icinga Summit](https://icinga.com/summit/) is happening in June. This is going to be our first multi-day event, and we’re looking forward to meeting you! In case you weren’t aware, there is already a scholarship program for students and marginalised groups you can find [here](https://icinga.com/summit/tickets/). And we were wondering: ### What is holding you back from attending the Icinga Summit? Is there anything we can do to help? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.icinga.com/t/feedback-week-thread/13473/13))_ ---

Did you check out our YouTube tutorials that we did last month? Markus Opolka from NETWAYS sat down with us and explained how to develop your first Icinga Web module, and what the different components of a module can do. If haven’t heard of them, or haven’t had time to watch them yet, [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVDjq9pYkysDUk0imvEGDg5TpybsLHiUh) is where you can find them 🙂 ### What did you think of them? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.icinga.com/t/feedback-week-thread/13473/14))_ ---

We are currently working on getting an official Icinga Certification set up - with the first ones starting at the Icinga Summit. We are also planning to offer it to be taken online. ### Now we would like to know what you think: Are you interested in getting certified as an Icinga Professional? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.icinga.com/t/feedback-week-thread/13473/15))_ ---

It would be a big plus to be able to request the certification from the consultants we hire. Points of attention: - the certification should be valid only for a definite period of time - the exam should be easy to take, ideally any time, online - the cost should not be too high (under 500 EUR) - the level should not be too low so it really means something to be certified - the scope should not only cover Icinga, but all modules, including Director for instance Thank you!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply! Those are some super valid complaints > - help (new) users for proper formatted posts For this we already have an onboarding with the [markdown guide](https://community.icinga.com/t/create-topics-and-master-markdown-formatting/69), but you mean messaging people when they post something that is badly formatted, if I unserstand you right? > - rearrange posts when posted in wrong categor(y/ies) e.g. Tutorials and Guides This is definitely something that I used to do more actively before, I’ll put it back on my daily to-dos. If you happen upon a post that is in the wrong category, you can always flag it to let us know! > - Take more care about unsolved or even unanswered posts e.g. involve your developers, consultants etc. This one is a bit of a tricky one, as the forum is mainly meant as a by-users-for-users system. Every developer at Icinga has an hour a week set aside for the forum, so they can answer posts. This is voluntary though. If I see a post that could benefit from some more “official” help, I usually try to message the person who is most likely to be able to help solve it 🙂 > - re-activate **unanswered posts** -link Now that you mention it, I don’t actually know what update removed that. I’ll look into it! Thank you for the feedback! 🙂 ---

Hey there! Those are some very good points and they also align well with what we were already thinking about. Our main struggle is trying to prevent cheating with online exams. The current implementation that we are working on is trying to combine a screen recording and webcam recording to make sure that people don’t try to google for the answers, but it’s of course also not foolproof. Do you have any further suggestions for that? [Next page](https://community.icinga.com/t/feedback-week-thread/13473.md?page=2)
