[ubuntu-za] Goals - Base

[Kapanda Phiri]

Hi Willian
Please view attached file of the lesson program I compiled. I summarized it
as much as possible to make it easy to understand. I haven't had time to
summarize the Libreoffice suite yet.

How are we going to make the certificates recognized by the government ?
Please share.

I also have been looking at Edx.org as a good platform to setup the lesson
program, I am not sure on how to get the lessons on there, if you have an
idea please share or if we can build our own I am more than happy to work
on the project.

Regards
Kapanda Phiri
