As a former student in one of the DNSSEC courses (actually, I have also
given one with Olaf Kolkman) I very much welcome the active role of the
RIPE folk educating the community with new technological features which
might be otherwise implemented/deployed in a wrong way.

I think it is a goal of RIPE to enhance the exchange of expertise and
see them in an educating role for their service region.

I must add though, that this course is not a DNS course. It aims
specifically at deploying DNSSec, rolling over keys, signing zones and
what you can expect with the (until so far) not so well documented
software available on the marketplace today.

May I ask what exactly is your problem with this type of education ?

Perhaps it is tie that RIPE takes part in more training/education
aspects such as IPv6 deployment.
