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!
