With the looming release of LibreOffice v.4.0, I would like to start a project coordinating members of the TDF/LibreOffice membership marketing team to approach through email or personal visit to local Libraries and see if they would consider buying copies of the LibreOffice documentation books for their shelves.
We would coordinate form letters here as a team (everyone involved in 
this process) and then use these "as is" or "modified" in their native 
language.
We would also track the Libraries that were contacted on an online 
spreadsheet and later follow-up with letters informing them regularly of 
any updated documentation from our docs team.
The book purchases would be done from Lulu who have a good distribution 
channel all over the world and their copies are of good quality. (Yes, I 
have already bought a LibreOffice book from them.)
We would also see if any members/users would like to participate in 
offering a donation to purchase a copy of the "Getting Started with 
LibreOffice" Guide if a local Library would agree to such an arrangement.
This project would then be listed on the "Easy Task" list for any new 
marketing team newcomer. She/He could see if any of the local libraries 
had copies of the "Getting Started with LibreOffice" Guide and then 
report back to our team so that we could contact them about this.
The idea is to get our documentation into as many libraries as possible 
and to keep in contact with these libraries in order to inform them of 
any new docs by our teams.
I will take care of posting a spreadsheet that will keep track of the 
libraries by geographic location worldwide as well as the LibreOffice 
Guides on their shelves.
Note: Libraries usually have a "wishlist" of book requests that they put 
out for their users. We can make sure that our docs show on these lists. 
Once they order/receive these guides, it is up to us to promote them 
locally to friends etc. and to even borrow these books from time to time 
so that their library usage show that they are indeed being used.
How does this sound?
