There has been some problems, but it all came down to one thing: They are still using MS Office at home. They agreed that if they can lean to use a new mobile phone in hald an hour, they can also learn to use a new computer program. They agreed to be 'ambassadors' for the project. We agreed that I will help the CIO to find some training material that can be distributed.Gabriel Gurley's OpenOffice 3.0 Moodle course is at http://theingots.org/courses/course/category.php?id=3 It would need to be translated I suppose. I'm going to make an application to the EU in February for funding comprehensive support the OOo certification project, this year we got 276,000 Euro for an Open Source project so it is not impossible. Unfortunately it would be a two year project starting October 2010. We can launch it on OOo's birthday :-)
At the same time, this could be a great "seed" project to certify the students and teachers in OOo for a simbolic ammount that will also help finalize the efforts on certification that we are already working at. So far there has been some interest in Spain to participate in an early version of the certification and apply it to their training programs for the municipalities.
