There were suggestions about setting up sustainable fund raising projects for education in the past but there has never been the will to do it. In fact in my own case I feel I was actively discouraged so took my "resources" to greener pastures. We are managing to sustain 5 people now but it has been a slow and painstaking process. However, it shows it is possible to develop a commercially viable business on open systems for education and we are still growing. I wish you bon chance, but unless OOo gets more organised eg like Mozilla foundation has, I don't hold out much hope. > To continue the effort, like mentor students writing code for > OpenOffice.org project, help developers attending conferences, or pay > them expensive memberships for development (like Apple ADC, or iPhone > SDK ), or even pay one skilled developer to write some new feature, > they need a bit of money. > > For more information, please have a look at : http:// > eric.bachard.free.fr/news ( and if you need more information, feel > free to ask me in private ) > > Thank you ! > > Eric Bachard -- 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.
