Only 4 days are left to submit the write-ups for our Linux brochure, so please take action and finish your work soon.
If possible, please e-mail me personally and let me know much how much you've written and on what topic. Thanks, Russell ---------- Original message ---------- Date: Aug 21, 2006 3:28 PM Subject: Call for help: write-ups wanted Dear friends, We're going to publish a booklet on Linux and FLOSS next month, and we're looking for write-ups from all of you. The booklet will be in Bengali and will be distributed for free. Our target group are the people who wants to learn more about Linux and Open Source software, and people who wants to migrate to Linux. The write-ups should be in introductory level, and shouldn't be too technical since we'll be distributing it between non-IT people as well. Please start writing up articles, and send them within August 31st 2006. If you can't type in Bengali, then you can send us scanned images as well. The booklet with selected articles will be published in first week of September. The articles that we won't be able to accommodate on this issue will be printed on the next issue, which will come up in November. An e-book version will also be published, which will be available at www.linux.org.bd and www.iosn.net. Some ideas for the write-ups are: - GNU and Free Software Foundation - The Open Source philosophy - Introduction to Linux - Linux distributions - Windows equivalents of Linux software - Windows to Linux migration tips - Creative Commons licenses - Free and Open Source software VS piracy - Bengali localisation - Statistics on the use of Linux in Bangladesh - and more. You can be as creative as possible and always come up with new topics / ideas. Please let me know how many of you are interested - hurry, cause we don't have much time in hand. Thanking you all, Russell -- ubuntu-bd mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
