Hi, I am looking for distributing the book "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3" among local schools as a LibreOffice promotion activity in Sri Lanka. And its for* free of charge*.
At the moment I am thinking about the way I could increase the knowledge/support about LibreOffice within my community. There is a high possibility if the Document Foundation and LibreOffice Documentation Team allow us to print this book locally and and redistribute for free of charge among the schools and relevant places like public libraries. As you may know Sri Lanka is a* developing country*. So, the cost of this book is not affordable to many people. What I am planning is to write to the "President's Task Force for the English and ICT" and relevant organizations like Ministry of Education, ICT Agency of Sri Lanka, and National Institute of Education, etc by requesting arranging necessary for local printing and distribution of more this book. They could find funds from the local or international sponsors. I would like to here a positive response from TDF and documentation team before I write to above mention organizations. I hope we could print and distribute more than 10,000 copies of this book.

I need a written permission before I write the local organizations.
