Kannan has already explained the kind of wonderful work they're doing on their side. Not knowing the Indian field reality myself, I suggest you could discuss or even answer the following questions: - how do we raise brand awareness on LibreOffice in India - are there specific approaches we can take to promote and have people download LibreOffice? Is the distribution of physical supports (cd-roms, usb keys) a better way ? - LibreOffice is meant for pretty much everyone, but do we have to target a key population at first? - LibreOffice is a community too: can we attract volunteers, developers, localizers, QA testers, documentation writers? - let's run a local , small scale event somewhere in India and see who shows up. Repeat these events around the country. Last but not least: do organize an IRC meeting or a physical meeting. I think it's important.
