Charles, Chandrakant and Kannan, It is good to see the activity related to Libreoffice for India. libreoffice is one of the most important flagship product of foss but in India the activity of promoting the lo is almost negligible. Its sad and we should certainly do some concrete effort regarding the same.
I would also like to be part of it actively and would like to work a lot for libreoffice in India. I am working for Hindi language since ten years in FOSS localization world. Earlier, I was associated with openoffice as well. I know lot of localization contributors/coordinators of different Indian language. I think they can also help us out to do organized marketing activity related to libreoffice in India. thanks! ------------------------ Regards, Rajesh Ranjan www.rajeshranjan.in twitter: @kajha facebook: rajeshkajha > On Friday, May 2, 2014 6:40 PM, Kannan Moudgalya <kan...@iitb.ac.in> wrote: > > Dear Chandrakant, > > I am delighted to see your mail. > > Our team has been conducting Spoken Tutorial based SELF workshops on > LibreOffice, mainly in academia, training tens of thousands of people. > Lately, I have been trying to come up with a print edition of > LibreOffice Manuals (500 copies) to promote LibreOffice in colleges, who > need a "printed book" for the software to be included in their > curriculum.
