Thanks Ian. At the risk of repeating myself this is a taks
based mailing list for marketing and not a venue for
advertisement.
I'd have considered getting the brand out on certificates across eg
Kenya to be a directly relevant marketing task.
No. It's about certification provided by your company. It is your
business. It's not LibreOffice marketing.
Seems other community members, Evans, Tom and Cor agree with that.
Smart move: play one against the other. But they did not agree with what
you implied. They merely responded.
I'm only responding to their posts with relevant and objective
information, I didn't initiate the thread. But as I said I haven't
time for petty squabbling so I have removed LO logo and references
from our site, you can check at https://theingots.org/community/home.
If you come across any you don't like anywhere I'm happy to remove
them. We have nothing to gain from publicising LO and if anything it
costs us in time and effort so it is far more sensible for me to put
time effort and resources into FOSS communities where I don't get
aggravation.
Your decision. It obviously did not cost you that much.
Let's close that thread now.
As far as I am concerned I only responded relevantly and in context
with information people might find useful. If this message closes the
thread its fine by me.
Thank you,
Charles.
Thanks,
Charles.

A point to note is we don't do courses. We
quality assure the outcomes of
courses.
Is the way you assure the quality of the
outcomes something that we can
learn from?
Possibly - it's agreed with the UK national regulators
through the
Regulatory Conditions. They are at
http://www.theingots.org/community/OfqualA
Its a bit like an ISO 9000 system for Awarding
Organisations. In essence we
deal with centres - Schools, Colleges and Adult
Education orgs. We train
their staff as assessors and they sign professional
agreements on the web
site to uphold professional standards. We sample their
work and in some
cases use short on-line tests to verify standards. The
methods depend on
the risk presented by the qualification in terms of
the level and its
purpose. You can down load the handbook we use for
schools at
https://theingots.org/community/handbook2 Click here
in the first
paragraph. There is a model test in the book and some
explanation of the
assessment methods.
This means we do not have a lot of content to change
and we leave
the teaching to the institutions
professional preferences.
The only things to up date are the Logo link
on the home page of the web
site
Apart from what the board may decide, at least
the use of the logo without
TDF line is needed and is something you can do
without delay.
and *if* it conforms with the TDF logo usage
policy to put the logo on
any certificates issued to say this
certificate was issued in the
context of LO.
If any use of the LibreOffice logo is allowed,
then it should be in a way
that it makes clear that LibreOffice is
supported, and not that there is an
endorsement from TDF.
That really depends on a subjective judgement. Is
putting a logo on a
certificate claimin g endorsement or is it simply
saying this certificate
was achieved using that product? I can see it could be
interpreted either
way so before I did it I'd want specific authorisation
to do it. That would
apply to any software not just LO. I would not want to
start awarding
certificates and then find there was a problem some
time later. It's easy
to remove a logo from the web site, it is not so easy
to revoke
certificates. In fact we would also incur problems
with Ofqual so that
would be far too big a risk to the business overall to
chance it.
PS we have a partner in the Netherlands called
Pro-work. We work with them
on EU projects.
