[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-users] Tips of the week -help needed
Hello everyone, I went to check the list of tips yesterday and I saw that many more had been added - I don't know who (I can't know it) - by about 3 to 4 people so I just wanted to say thank you to the people who joined the effort and chipped in a few tips! Of course it's kind of a continuous effort, so feel free to add even more to it. Thanks, Charles. Le 2014-05-01 10:49, Tom Davies a écrit : Hi :) There is no list or form. It's just a document.

[libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office Marketing activities in India
Hello All. My name is Chandrakant Dhutadmal. I am from Pune, India. Currently i am working as senior technical officer, at Centre for Development of advanced computing (C-DAC), Pune. I have been working in Localization domain since about last 8 years. I had earlier used Open Office and conducted training and spread awareness about open office among lot of people from various sectors like Academics, Govt, NGO's, and SME's. I have also been attending various meeting and conferences to spread the word. I have also been using Libre Office since quite some time now. I think i can be a good contributor as a Member of Marketing team and take this product to newer heights of success. I would also like to know if there is any marketing group active in India who promotes Libre Office in India and let me know how can i participate.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office Marketing activities in India
Dear Chandrakant, Welcome to the LibreOffice project! I have seen your earlier posts on the L10N mailing list and it's great to see that more localizations can be created. On top of that C-DAC has been a long standing contributor to the old Openoffice.org project :-) It is a bit unclear to me whether there are active teams promoting LibreOffice around India though. We have various contacts with public institutions there however. Given the scope of your involvement, I guess you have a team working with you on LibreOffice localizations and marketing?

Hi Charles. Thanks for welcoming me in the community. Yes. C-DAC is one of the organization which has been into Localization and its marketing since quite some time now. I have personally been active in some other open source communities and i have noticed that there are no Libre Office promotional activities being carried out as a community.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office Marketing activities in India
Thank you for your answer. May I suggest you familiarize yourself with the localization processes first? Such an effort can be demanding even for one language only; alternatively, promoting LibreOffice in India itself is also quite a chunk of work. Let us know what you need or what tasks you would like to work on . Thank you, Charles. Le 2014-05-02 14:43, chandrakant dhutadmal a écrit : Hi Charles. Thanks for welcoming me in the community. Yes.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office Marketing activities in India
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. This project has taken a lot longer than what I expected, because I seem to have not followed some procedures. I hope to close this activity soon. Next time when you come to Mumbai, please drop by at IIT and we can discuss how to take things forward in India. I believe that you can contribute quite a bit on the Indic language front.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office Marketing activities in India
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!

So for overall promotion purpose we can count this language also. - on this mailing list, discuss and define a few concrete actions to raise LibreOffice awareness in India and improve its distribution. Sure...I have not any problem start discussing here right now but would like to come here with inputs from other languages' team maintainers and possibly after a face-to-face cum irc meeting with the people mentioned from lo team. This will be a inclusive view and would be more helpful to work for the plan decided here on the on the mailing list later. What do you think? Hope this is okay? regards, Rajesh Best, Charles.

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!

This project has taken a lot longer than what I expected, because I seem to have not followed some procedures. I hope to close this activity soon. Next time when you come to Mumbai, please drop by at IIT and we can discuss how to take things forward in India. I believe that you can contribute quite a bit on the Indic language front.

C-DAC is one of the organization which has been into Localization and its marketing since quite some time now. I have personally been active in some other open source communities and i have noticed that there are no Libre Office promotional activities being carried out as a community. I personally would like to contribute in this community driven promotional activity in a better way. Regards, Chandrakant Dhutadmal Pune, India. On Friday, May 2, 2014 5:44 PM, Charles-H.

I have seen your earlier posts on the L10N mailing list and it's great to see that more localizations can be created.
