Please do not mind, still we can find some government officers with transnational communication. :) It would be better if you could make it as two separate papers. 01. One letter is with: Introduction to the Document Foundation and LibreOffice. Please add some thing like our status, who are we, what we are doing and our strengths in the same doc you can mention that I am a foundation member, etc etc Because I do not have any show my identity within the community. They wont check my linkedin profile. :) 02. Permission to use the content of the "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3". Please mention all the limitations and relevant legal points in that document.

Re: [steering-discuss] Distributing the book "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3"
Dear Danishka, Yesterday evening the Steering Committee has granted you the authorization to use the full logo (with the TDF subline) for the printing of the documentation of LibreOffice. We hope this will help advancing the cause of LibreOffice and Free Software in Sri Lanka. Best regards and good luck, Charles-H. Schulz (on behalf of the Steering Committee).

Re: [steering-discuss] Distributing the book "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3"
Hi :) You might prefer this page http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ The same guides are available free and under a copy-left agreement allowing you to print multiple copies. It's even possible that you might be able to charge a reasonable fee to cover costs and wear&tear on hardware, distribution, and so on, even a reasonable profit on top especially if a reasonable percentage share of that profit is paid to The Document Foundation. At the moment some of those guides are not fully updated. I'm reasonably sure the Writer and Calc guides are done for this edition. I think the "Introducing LibreOffice" guides has got some new updates going through in the next few days. Similarly with the Impress guides. Base is likely to take a long time. I think work on Math and Draw are about to start (hopefully). If you sign-up to the Documentation Team's mailing list and ask them you might get a better answer to all of these things. They are quite friendly. The Documentation Team are likely to appreciate it more if you are able to get involved with writing/updating the English (US) guides and/or get involved with translating them into 'local' languages that are likely to be understood in schools/colleges in your area. In one country a few university or college students joined the volunteers as part of a 'school' project. Regards from Tom :) From: Danishka Navin To: steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org Sent: Wed, 15 June, 2011 7:54:10 Subject: [steering-discuss] Distributing the book "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3" 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. [1] http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/getting-started-with-libreoffice-33/14703788 Note: If all partites agreed to this proposal the selected meterial will be the latest version of the "Getting Started with LibreOffice" Because Getting Started with LibreOffice 4.x might be released when I ended up with solving each issue. I need a written permission before I write the local organizations.
