Here in the UK it is used by - MOST Midland Open Source Technology - which is part of the government funded Birmingham Voluntary Service Council. BVSC supports voluntary sector organisations and MOST is a relatively new initiative to help the voluntary sector adopt Open Source technologies. MOST is an INGOT Academy and will be using INGOT certification to help train staff in voluntary organisations in office technology skills. > What it will require is identifying particular markets or groups, > contacting a few we've chosen, and following up....

I can give you contacts at MOST if that helps. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
