If you want to learn more about the principles of Free and Open Source software their is an On-line Moodle course at http://theingots.org/moodle/login/index.php It's free, either login as a guest or make an account (guests can't do the on-line quizzes) Go to Gold INGOT level 2 scroll down to activities and click on the link "Finding out about Open Standards".
