Does this need funding? I'd be more than happy to chip in some pennies towards this effort.

In my experience it's surprisingly hard to recruit good quality ops people. Actually it's hard just to get recruiting agencies to filter well for ops jobs but that's another story... Anything that might help this is worthwhile investment.

+1, and I'd love to buy such a course as a book

They are selling some videos on oreilly Web Operations 101 [1], General Operations 101[2], and Unix Operations 101[3].

Each video is $40, but "Web Operations" is the Deal of the Week at oreilly, so it´s 50% off

These videos are in supplement to the free written curriculum of the Ops School project, available at http://www.opsschool.org . Ops School is a community-driven, comprehensive program teaching the skills necessary to become a professional operations engineer. Check out the curriculum and learn how!

This is a really good idea. We already buy in site licences for the Uncle Bob series (kinda comparable idea for programmers), i imagine many other places are the same. This model works quite well.

FYI - These videos are available on Safari [0]. I find Safari Library (unlimited access to books/videos) to be a great deal at $42/month.

Also, you can tip the guys from ReadTheDocs via GitTip: https://www.gittip.com/readthedocs/

A really good idea, and one that I am going to steal for single sign on and security development
