You might remember we did talk a few months back. My problem is simply that getting the certification through the regulatory processes and financially viable is more than a full time job already. We have mouths to feed here :-). However it has potential to produce income that could fund development. Not there yet but the OOo certification project is currently in negotiation with a large training provider in South America that could make a significant difference. It's also the sort of thing that can attract EU grant funding - Comenius funding for meetings and exchanges between schools should be easy. I can help with that sort of thing. We have a grant application in for about 300,000 Euros for developing OOo certification with the EU through Germany. Even if this is not successful we can do other applications.
