Sorry for the delay,

"to develop new features, or provide L3 Support to enterprise users; 
researching and developing solutions to new or unknown issues, designing 
and developing one or more courses of action, evaluating each of these 
courses in a test case environment, and implementing the best solution 
to the problem. Once the solution is verified, it is delivered to the 
customer and given back to the community."

"to develop new features; provide L3 Support to enterprise users; 
research and develop solutions to new or unknown issues, design and 
develop one or more courses of action to correct these issues, evaluate 
each of these courses in a test case environment, and implement the best 
solution to the problem.  Once the solution is verified, it is delivered 
to the customer and given back to the community."

Also, I also suggest writing the verbs into the "active voice" to show 
more commitment of actions undertaken by the coders.

I would suggest that perhaps it would be better to rewrite the paragraph 
in point form. The paragraph would then look like:

"LibreOffice Certified Developers are individuals who have proven their 
ability to master LibreOffice code:

* develop new features
* provide L3 Support to enterprise users
* research and develop solutions to new or unknown issues; design and 
develop one or more courses of action to correct these issues; evaluate 
each of these courses in a test case environment; implement the best 
solution to the problem.  Once the solution is verified, it is delivered 
to the customer and given back to the community."

But others may have an opinion of how to best work out this paragraph.

The following sentence should also be changed [change "were" to "are" to 
make it more definitive]:

"Certified Developers are present TDF members, were nominated by the 
Certification Committee, and subsequently peer-reviewed by the 
Engineering Steering Committee."

to

"Certified Developers are present TDF members, are nominated by the 
Certification Committee, and subsequently peer-reviewed by the 
Engineering Steering Committee."

Also, bottom paragraph on the page:

"Specifically does TDF not recommend nor endorse ..."

to

"Specifically, TDF does not recommend nor endorse ..."

Also:

"Interested parties are asked to individually assess if the listed 
companies ..."

to

"Interested parties are asked to assess individually if the listed 
companies ..."  -- may sound better if you wrote it this way and avoids 
people writing us and complaining of the "split infinitive rule".


Cheers,

Marc
