Vote for or against the ECDL-Openoffice Promotion through our website

[Cyprus Ubuntu Loco Team]

Guys we had been in a discussion with Mr Panikos Masouras from CCS
regarding a co-operation in events, announcements and promotion of our
goals.

The CCS link is already up and they have put our link on their site. Now
one other think they requested was to put a Link to their ECDL
information site. As this issue could cause considerable controversy,
let me tell you some facts to help you decide for or against:

1) ECDL is not Microsoft focused but Vendor Neutral instead. There are
classes that teach OpenOffice instead of MS Office.
2) There are currently no Classes to teach OpenOffice in Cyprus but the
link will help us promote OpenOffice in Cyprus. We are also planning
some Presentations to several Private Schools that teach ECDL.
3) Panikos Masouras has asked The Foundation for Promoting Research to
Fund an ECDL program based on OpenOffice but he was turned down even
though the proposal scored high. (Insert favorite curse here).
4) More than 60% of the attendants to the party were notified though CCS
and this could be a nice way to thank them.

The link will point to a webpage under our domain that will explain the
above to visitors and then offer links to the relevant ECDL page under
the CCS domain. I for one I am supporting this proposal but it is up to
everyone to decide.
