Re: Copyrighted statues in Helsinki?

Re: Ceertified OSS developers

Hello, Thanks a lot for all the input. It looks like there is no industry-recognized certification of such a kind. Could be a semi-business idea for FSFE educational stream to provide certificates of such a kind. Of course, no certificates really guarantee anything. It's just an entry level.
