Reminder : Education Project objectives and Mission

Just back from holidays, I thought it could be a good idea to make a point about what is Education Project, as reminder, and to avoid confusion with what we can read sometimes ...

Back to the point: the objectives of the Education Projects are extremely precise, and well defined on the OpenOffice.org wiki. This is written since at least two years, means since I'm Education Project Lead ...

Let's verify ... reading the OpenOffice.org Wiki page : The Education Project aims to create a bridge between Educational World and OpenOffice.org Project

More precisely, the OpenOffice.org Education Project mission is explained there : Education Project Mission

Shortly, our Mission in 3 points :

- Provide a place for OpenOffice.org users, in Education context: discuss about adapt OpenOffice.org to your pedagogy, your needs ..etc (all levels of Education are concerned )

- Provide and promote tools adapted to pedagogical use, around OpenOffice.org

- Write code together : we can teach you everything about OpenOffice.org code and how add your: just go ahead

Any help is welcome, and Alexandro Colorado (Education Project Co-Lead) and me, will be glad to welcome you :)

As conclusion : please do not trust everything people wrote about the Education Project, and if you have some doubts, feel free to ask me directly ;-) (e.g. join #education.openoffice.org on irc.freenode.net server if you want to discuss with me directly)
