And a embedded link to Google Translate service-- that will save a lot of the hassles of paper booklets-- and people not strong in english can even see translations in hindi, and other languages ? Will help solve a lot of limitations of paper-- and will also be environmentally friendly... You could just collect the attendee list-- and mail them the URL-- and also have tell a friend link on each page. What say ???

If anybody has such booklet ,, Also the initial thought in my mind for giving these contents, Please feel free to add topics There have been a couple of booklets in the pipeline at Sarai related to this. A couple of publications on How to Localize and Pocket Linux are also in the queue (by Rajesh Ranjan and Ravishankar Shrivastava respectively). We also had one booklet on general FLOSS philosophy already completed (though we had run out of them). Let me see if I can find more copies of them at Sarai. If you have some wiki link we can add some potential topics there.

In my opinion Google Translate is very bad for translating entire articles. The grammar etc. gets botched up pretty bad. Its still nowhere a replacement for a properly localized text (i.e. by a human). Will help solve a lot of limitations of paper-- and will also be environmentally friendly... That might be true but distributing booklets cannot be considered less effective than internet. At least IMHO. I'll still prefer a book over an HTML link handed out to me.

Learning over Internet is not possible for all and Learning over web is full of distractions as we use to open facebook youtube, gmail while learning.

There are people who have less access to computers and internet. These people should be targeted to spread the knowledge. Booklets will help these people know about and FOSS and spread it. For example In my college days some of my juniors took an initiative to upload class notes to their blogs. The purpose was to spread class notes to those who are not much studious and fail to get it from their teachers. Still no much people visited their blogs. It just reduced the efforts of studious students. Then they took one print out and photocopied it and gave it to few peoples. They spread it further to other students those who wanted it. The result was 92% pass next semester. Only 5 people got arrears in that class. This will be the case of FOSS too if it is on paper.

A small article which says how Gandhiji's fight for freedom and press helped to spread the knowledge to common man when there was no internet. Similar way its another fight for freedom from proprietary softwares.
