Great news, We should get them to include open source in the ECDL curriculum,
The curriculum is OS agnostic already. The actual requirement, which is hardr to set up than one might hope, is for a company willing to make money out of training people to use office software on Linux, and then test them on it. Getting one to have two sets of software and OS is one way, setting up one to do just that is another, but at present any busienss with shareholders would still find it hard to justify. However, yesterday I stood up in front of a group of very senior Pharma comapny IT execs to speak about doctors' requirements, enhancing shareholder value for the dot com I'm European medical director for, and was using Star Office on Linux for my presentation...
