I do not think that a discussion between two completely different views is of any benefit for the project. You have all the rights to criticize my views, but I have the rights to consider your views as wrong. The future will tell if you are right or I am right. TDF Certification is a challenge, based on 7 years of experience inside the OOo project and endless discussions with third parties who find it difficult to sell their services because they are not certified. I am not saying that this is the best possible option, but is an option while dreaming about an independent organization created by potential buyers and vendors is just a dream which I have heard many times. If our project will end up in an independent organization certifying competence in a better way than we do, we will probably pursue the best option. For the time being, we need to answer the issue of third parties which have problems in selling their services because they are not certified, and of corporate users who are looking or even asking for certified professionals.
