Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Funding Wishlist

Sorry, I forgot to add three more ways we can contribute to the ongoing 
marketing effort:

3.  We have a good number of ORCA spoken tutorials to help on the topic 
of accessibility.  The tutorial relevant to LibreOffice is 
http://www.che.iitb.ac.in/faculty/km/08-orca_word-processor.mp3.  It is 
one of 10+ tutorials on ORCA.  As this were made a few years ago, OO is 
explained.  We are in the process of remaking these tutorials, as 
apparently, some things have changed in the way ORCA is distributed.  
When we make them again, we can explain LibreOffice instead.  We have 
amongst our team Krishnakant Mane, a visually impaired FOSS expert, who 
worked closely with the ORCA team and developed these tutorials.

4.  We can provide free dubbing rights to those who want to dub spoken 
tutorials on LibreOffice.  We can train the interested people how to do 
the dubbing.  We require, however, that the video is not changed and 
that the end users are not charged.  We also give honorarium to anyone 
from anywhere who can help with the dubbing in India's 20+ official 
languages 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_with_official_status_in_India).  
Interestingly, a few languages spoken in India are used in neighbouring 
countries also - Urdu: Pakistan, Nepali: Nepal, Bengali: Bangladesh, 
Tamil: Sri Lanka.

5.  We can help train those who want to organise workshops using spoken 
tutorials, available at http://spoken-tutorial.org.  This service is 
also offered free of cost.

Regards,

Kannan
