In India we have been conducting programmes for teachers which we have called Teachers Training in the "Sugar Learning Platform" and going forward we would like to work with a B.Ed. college in Goa to offer certification courses at two levels. One as a base facilitator level and the other at more of an expert level. These have been free and no one has been charged for any of these. I have recently retired and am not directly involved but interested as a volunteer and still do help projects that I have been involved in starting. Would appreciate any guidance so that we don't violate any trademarks. REF: sugar labs should lead any sugar certification that is offered and called that way That would be helpful for us so that we don't reinvent anything or come up with a syllabus.

If we don't this is probably clearly a trademark violation. Not saying its a bad idea, but sugar labs should lead any sugar certification that is offered and called that way. In fact we should encourage this kind of appropriation but in a way that gives back to the project. For instance, if they have developed guidelines, materials, etc, they can be a reference for similar programs in other countries that other Local Labs could offer, adding to our Services Portfolio.

Anybody knows something? If well done this might be an interesting way to recognize and motivate teachers, hey, even lay helpers! _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </pre> </div></div></div> _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </blockquote></div>
