The #digital competence framework for #Wales is lacking in area's.
It lacks providing an understanding of #opensource, #freesoftware or #copyleft licenses. Considering the extent to which the internet and the #UK #economy is powered by open source technology and these license, this a big gap in the framwork.
Fixing this omission isn't about advocacy for #FOSS or other #open standards, its about enabling the citizens of Wales to understand the digital ecosystem in which they operate.

Best moment learning a language is finding words that #English doesn't have or doesn't use anymore.
Contemporary English doesn't have colloquial words for "the day before yesterday" or for "the day after tomorrow".
It used to have "ereyesterday" and "overmorrow".
Some European languages have equivalents such as the #French: "avant-hier" and "après-demain"
#Welsh having words for both, pleases me.
"Echdoe" and "trennydd"
