If you list them, maybe leave a note that the courses do not lead to any
certification and that, as you say, are interest courses where
participants are taught introductory applications on the practical use
of LibreOffice.

It's always nice to hear of groups taking on this job. This will help us
getting the word out and that we support communities at all levels.

Our official calendar is on the wiki.[1]
Thanks. The community college courses may be a bit too small scale events to
be listed in the global event calendar with FOSDEM and Cebit :) But there
seems to be already a discussion going on in an other thread with ideas on how
to efficiently organize the calendar. I'll follow the discussion and try to
find a suitable way to list these events.

Could these college courses that teach LibreOffice be listed in some other place, like marketing, showing that these educational centers teach LibreOffice?

We should recognize the places that are teaching LibreOffice. free or paid courses, to let the public know that educational and teaching centers are now teaching our product. If colleges and tech centers are teaching their students LO, then it should mean that LO is a office suite that is worth knowing as a MSO alternative.

We need to list as many placed that use LO or teaches LO to "prove" that LO is a viable package to use instead of MSO, or at least it is the best free office suite instead of buying a license and media copy of MSO. Also If you buy MSO's basic package, and you need the other option, you need to repurchase MSO. LO is an all-in-one suite that never needs purchase when you download it from the LO site. It does not have an Email package, but ones like Thunderbird's client are free as well. So we need to show people who runs Windows, that the colleges an other learning centers think that LO is "good enough" or "popular enough" that teaching LO is worth a class or classes at their facility.

Anything to show Windows user that LO is becoming more and more popular on their OS. Same with Mac OSX. Linux users know LO is the best office suite.
