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

Rajesh, Kannan, Chandrakant,

This is getting interesting :-)

May I suggest we work this in two "streams"?
- check who is currently working on Indic langages localizations, what localization of 
constitutionally recognized language is currently missing and who may work on it

- on this mailing list, discuss and define a few concrete actions to raise LibreOffice awareness in 
India and improve its distribution. 

What do you think?

Best,

Charles.
