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.  Best wishes,

Kannan
