Although this is just involving UK people atm, to meet a real need here, there's no reason for others not to think about adapting it to other countries. The awarding authority (TLM) developed the INGOTs, which are very popular in dozens of other countries, and spreading Free Software knowledge far and wide. :) - Richard -------- Forwarded Message -------- thePILOTS is due to be launched in the new year and we are looking for people to collaborate in the development of the qualification. The qualification will be operating system independent, but the materials will be developed for GNU/Linux. The qualification will be certified by The Learning Machine, a QCA approved awarding body, and development is being led by M6-IT CIC. It will be referenced to the National Occupational Standards for ICT practitioners. The target audience will be technicians working in small organisations and 16+ education. The project is being hosted at http://gna.org/ The website is at http://www.thepilots.org/ The developers discussion can be subscribed to at https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/thepilots-dev/ Please join us and help us to create a qualification that will be truly useful. thanks, with apologies for the inevitable cross-postings, Richard Rothwell _______________________________________________ LBW mailing list LBW@xxxxxxx https://www.x31.com/mailman/listinfo/lbw 2007 Event: http://lbw2007.hellug.gr -- Previous events: http://www.lbw99.eu.org/ http://www.lbw2000.eu.org/ http://lbw2001.ynfonatic.de/ http://www.lbw2002.draiocht.net/ http://lbw2003.anteus.hu/ http://www.lbw2004.eu.org/ http://www.levkowetz.com/2005/lbw-killin/ http://www.mkuncaitis.com/lbw06/ http://www.linuxbierwanderung.org/
