Italian military share LibreOffice eLearning course Italy’s Ministry of Defence is sharing the eLearning course that it developed together with LibreItalia, the Italian promoters of LibreOffice. The course is made available via the LibreItalia website, and the source material is available on GitHub. The Ministry hopes that making it available will inspire others to modify and reuse the LibreOffice course. The course material, in HTML5, and including video’s and presentations, is available on GitHub. The Italian Ministry of Defence started migrating to the LibreOffice suite of office productivity tools in 2016. The ministry expects that this will help save from EUR 26 million to EUR 29 million over the coming years. The ministry’s LibreDifesa project will migrate all of the Italian military’s well over 100,000 desktop PCs to LibreOffice, the largest public sector implementation in Europe. My comment: It may be in Italian, but it will firstly help out the many Italian-speaking people around the world, and I hope that secondly it will spur on the many English (and other language) governments around the world to follow suit. This the spirit of open source in action. The Libre Office website does also have editable downloadable versions of the manual that can be used for training purposes too. See http://ift.tt/2m4ABHG
