Ian, I wanted to get certified via the "theingots.org" web-page but alas I cannot. I am in the United States. How cam I get certified so I can effectively market LibO here in the United States? I want to offer training and support to my customers. What can I do? On Nov 7, 2010, at 2:19 PM, Ian wrote:

At least a skype group call with a mic and speakers in the room? - Evan LeibovitchHi Evan, We want everyone possible to participate. The main reason for holding the meeting in Berlin is that it is central to more people who have a chance of getting EU funding to pay their expenses to attend. It would be great to get people from other parts of the world to attend but unfortunately we have no finance at this point to pay for expenses. We certainly can have skype at minimum. I'm waiting for Manfred Reiter to come back on the venue. As soon as we know I'll work out what conference facilities we can do - Maybe a video stream to the web. I'll also draw up a draft agenda so others can contribute too. I reiterate that we want people in Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, India, Africa, Australia etc etc. This will only work as a means of significantly funding developers if we can make it a global effort and we can devise a means of sustaining the people doing the training and assessing.On 30 October 2010 17:53, Ian <ian.lynch@theingots.org> wrote:On Sat, 2010-10-30 at 15:34 -0400, Drew Jensen wrote:On Sat, 2010-10-30 at 17:47 +0100, Ian wrote:http://theingots.org/community/LO_OOo_certHi Ian, I think what you have been doing is wonderful and really think you are correct to pursue this as including members from both the OOo and LO communities.The logic is that we will be certificating a common set of skills and knowledge so there is no real reason to make a distinction. We might also do K-Office :-). The thing is to try and get to anyone who is interested in training and related support so if anyone reading this says "this isn't for me" please consider if you know someone who might be interested please pass the message on. Networking is the power of the community!Best wishes for your success,Thanks for your kind words.Drew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@certification.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@certification.openoffice.org-- 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.
