Just a quick intro. Great to see an independent foundation for the OOo code base. It has been needed since the outset.
I'm working with Alexandro Colorado and the certification project to get an official certification developed that is accredited by national governments and referenced to the European Qualifications Framework. We should be able to get EU finance for training community members as assessors and generate a revenue stream to support the Foundation. To get an idea, ECDL/ICDL did 9 million certificates in 43 countries last year. That would generate revenue to employ 200 full-time engineers to work on the project and provide expenses and retainers for key personnel. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - +44 1827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
