Last Thursday OpenOffice.org, Google and others in the world of open source got together to present “…a new model of technology training…”. I heard of OpenOffice.org years back when I had a copy of Office 2000 and ignored it. Then Office 2003 was announced and when I first heard about the activation process and projected cost I thought to myself, “Gosh that OpenOffice stuff sounds suddenly really cool.” I used my Office 2000 until it was worn out and then switched to OpenOffice.org and I’ve been using it on ALL of my computers ever since.

Well, anyway if you use OpenOffice.org, love open source or just love Google you might want to read the Google OpenSource blog’s OpenOffice.org Training at Google New York and see how the event went, and what to do if you are interested in organizing an Open Source ‘untraining’ (click and read to see what untraining is).
