G'day all,

This brings me to a question close to my heart.

Does anyone, anywhere know of a TAFE /Open Learning institute which offers
anything in the way of Linux/Open Source Application courses? I tried to
get my local TAFE interested in Open Office, even did Cert III in IT
(applications) and CertIV in Training and Assessment.

The reception was, to say the least, cool.
