Thanks a lot Ian for that info and the work that you are doing with certification, especially based on LO. My thinking is that TDF would be better placed to work with your organization to lend more credence to the certification, as well as working with other regional organizations to support the certification. I think one way that proprietary companies normally beat us is o certification and accreditation. Also, looking at the more successful OSS projects, having a certification programme is normally a strategic initiative and a show of maturity of the solution, thereby gaining more trust in the marketplace.
