Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Sorry for the break
Hi :) I thought the various Dvd projects just stored their work online so that many people could contribute to their project. I thought the aim was to have something that could be downloaded and burned to Dvd fro distribution where internet might not be available (amongst other reasons). I had forgotten about the German Dvd which has been excellent for years apparently.

Hi Tim, Of course Rajesh can speak for himself and of course it is his choice, he is a free agent and it is FOSS. I would again recommend to go, from day one, with the CMS system for many reasons.

Can you please tell me how to start and go about it? Feel free to contact me for information. I am the host for the North American Community DVD project at http://libreoffice-na.us/ We are also working on a version being hosted by the LibreOfficeBox people in Germany on a CMS system at http://dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org/ Right - So - the first step would be to request a set of sites be created in the LibreOfficeBox domain. One site will be for building the disc image. The other site will be for distributing the iso image you create. You would then need to create an account at the LibreOfficeBox domain and your account will be give you access to the CMS (Content Mangaement System) administrative functions. At that point if you want to start by translating English pages, I would offer to move the pages from the north-america site to this new location. From there you can edit the text and remove packages that would not be suitable (an English grammer checker for instance). But really the question of DVD vs CD comes in here also - you could toss much of what is included in the North-America disc. If you would like, we can figure out a way for you to get all the files from the LibreOffice-NA.US site that you might want for your DVD project. Not really needed - they are already on the CMS system. One final note - please keep the conversation on-list. Thanks, Drew From the first emails he sent before his "break", it did not look like he wanted to deal with an online DVD system, but I could be wrong. He may want to have a distribution DVD without the web site. Of he may now want to go the route of the CMS system. It is his choice on how he does his DVD. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Feel free to contact me for information. I am the host for the North American Community DVD project at http://libreoffice-na.us/ We are also working on a version being hosted by the LibreOfficeBox people in Germany on a CMS system at http://dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org/ If you would like, we can figure out a way for you to get all the files from the LibreOffice-NA.US site that you might want for your DVD project. One person questioned why a DVD instead of a CD. I assume that you want to have the Windows, Linux, and Mac, version of LibreOffice on your media, plus documentation, dictionaries, localized language packs, and anything else that your user base would want or need while using LibreOffice. That is what the NA DVD was based upon, what we though would be wanted/needed by our community of users. Since you are in India, you will want to decide the languages you want to write your instructions in. For our DVD we started with English, but we are working towards Spanish and French version in the future, since those are the three major languages in our region of the world. Yours languages will be a different group, but I would think there are a percentage of people who may want to have English as one of the secondary languages, while one or more of India's languages would be the primary ones used. Documentation for LibreOffice is currently in English, and it looks like in a few months that all parts of LibreOffice will have documentation online. So if you have people who would need non-English documentation, you might talk to the documentation writers about how someone goes about translating the current English documents to your needed local language[s]. If I remember you, from earlier questions, LibreOffice has language packs and dictionaries that would work for many of your users. That is always a great place to start. To be honest, I started creating DVDs to hand out to friends and family with all the software and documentation they would need for their computer use. That would be and Office Package, Browser and Email clients, and any other open source and free software I could find that they would use. Then, people in Germany created the first "beta" version of their distribution DVD, so I got involved in taking what that did and making something like it for the English speaking people. Theirs was in German. After that, it went and became a full fledged Community DVD project. To be honest, you should have people helping you edit your work and help to make it the best work that you can do. More eyes on the work find more of the potential errors and issues that may develop while you create you DVD project. So if you would like more info, or other resources, let me know on or off the list. Tim L.
