	Developers at OSE use a diverse set of free and open-source tools to communicate, design, and document on the cloud. The developer test focuses on the performance of certain authentic tasks as the criteria for becoming a developer. Credentials are very important in terms of predicting and describing someone's competencies, but credentials are neither necessary nor sufficient. If someone has a credential but cannot perform OSE tasks, that credential itself is not sufficient. And if someone can perform OSE tasks but does not have a credential, that credential is not necessary. To become a developer, you just demonstrate that you have learned to do what developers do. The test of whether or not you can use Linux, design something in CAD, and document your work on a wiki is to ''use Linux, design something in CAD, and document your work on the wiki''. The test is self-verifying. If you can do what a developer does, then you can be a developer.
