Hello People,

This is not LPI related, but I thought that many of the people on this list 
who are involved in training may be interested to learn of the OpenICDL 
project [http://icdl.tsf.org.za].

OpenICDL is an open source project that aims to develop and maintain a 
Free/Open Source version of the training materials used to ready students for 
the International Computer Driving License certification.

OpenICDL Courseware is aimed at new computer and linux users.
Version 1.0 is an official release approved by the ICDL Foundation for 
training students wishing to take ICDL certifications. Current courseware 
includes the following modules:
ICDL Module 1 - Concepts of Information Technology
ICDL Module 2 - Using a Computer and Managing Files with K Desktop Environment 
ICDL Module 3 - Word Processing using OpenOffice.org Writer
ICDL Module 4 - Spreadsheets using OpenOffice.org Calc
ICDL Module 6 - Presentations using OpenOffice.org Impress
ICDL Module 7 - Information and Communication using Mozilla 1.4 and Ximian 
Evolution 1.4

Module 5 - OpenOffice.org Database was not missed, it is in the development 
trunk.

Full source is available in Docbook XML. If you are interested in scratching 
an itch or just have fun developing courseware, stop by and introduce 
yourself. The project has only been live for one week, so there is scope for 
lots of ideas and millions of ways to participate with contributions.

Regards,
