What licenses are these released under? I can also point you to
further resources I have found if you are interested (I will need to
root around in my inbox). There is also this http://linfiniti.com/dla
which is all freely available under GPLD and CC-SA licences. It would
be really nice to create yet another git repo where we can assemble a
collection of consistenly written and styled teaching modules such
that a course presenter could collate the relevant bits into the
course he/she is presenting. It would also make a good step forward in
our certification plans as we would be able to provide solid course
material to go along with the certification programme.

Regards

Tim
