NM at events?

[Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>]

Has there been any previous discussion of completing steps in the NM
process at real-world events?

As an example, one of the steps involves questioning applicants about
licensing knowledge.  As it is dependent on volunteers sending emails
back and forth, it can take a couple of months to complete, even though
it is only a couple of hours work/reading for a strong applicant.  What
if we were to offer a license workshop and multi-choice exam at events
like DebConf and anybody who completes the workshop would receive a
PGP-signed certificate that can be submitted during the NM process?
