http://www.theingots.org/community/node/5480 The above is a link to web pages I'm preparing for the UK government backed Schools Open Source Project. It is aimed at education but is about FOSS in general rather than OOo specifically. There is a specific bit about OOo about 75% of the way down. I think this project at some point will fund more in-depth work on Open Source applications and OOo would be a likely candidate. There is also a free Moodle course on using OpenOffice.org at http://theingots.org/moodle/course/view.php?id=11 Just log in as a guest to check it out. You need to make an account - it's free - to do the tests. So if they say they are worried about training or support you have an answer. We also have government accredited qualification in Open Systems that are OpenOffice.org friendly. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
