You might want to look at what the North American Community DVD Project is
working on.
We took the idea that was started by the German group and modified it for
the North American region.
Right now we have English-only, Spanish-only [alpha testing], with
French-only being worked on offline.
We have our primary Windows/Linux/MacOSX DVD plus a Windows-only DVD.
This is the link to the English 3.3.2 DVD testing pages
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/index.html
This is the link to the main portal page where you can look at what it
being worked on that is being tested online.
http://libreoffice-na.us/
We have the 3.3.2 install version of our DVD[s], and working on a 3.4.x DVD
as well.
We have the Install files, Documentation, Extensions and Dictionaries,
Templates, Artwork and Galleries, plus some extra software packages.
This may give you an idea of what can be done for a DVD. If you want to
use the same format as we do, which is based off the original DVD style from
the Germans, we can send you archives of the needed files and folders for
the CSS and images.
You might want to look at the dictionary list we have. The large list,
below the small one, has as many dictionaries I could find. Since there are
many languages and dialects in India, I hope there are a few in this list
that would be helpful for the students of your college. As far as I have
been told, or read, there are ways to create simple dictionaries from word
lists. So if you need a dictionary for a language/dialect, all you need to
start is a large enough word list. There should be enough documentation
online, somewhere, to give you the information to go from that point.

Let me/us know what you think.

Hey Tom,
I need an information about the DVD idea. I am the Vice-President of
my
a club in my college. We organize a lot of programs where we bring
students
from all over the state together for sharing their ideas on their field. I
would like to know if I can distribute CD's containing installation file
of
LibreOffice along with the user guide? If yes, then can I charge them the
CD
cost alone?

Hi :)
Yes, welcome in. Mostly people like to post at the bottom of threads
which
might take a while to get used to. There are quite a few plans here to
produce
localised Dvds of LibreOffice to distribute at conferences and such-like.
Some
people even try to sell them in order to raise funds to make that a more
sustainable venture and/or to give a percentage back to TDF. There might
be
some good ideas for what to include on a Dvd.
Good luck and welcome in
Regards from
Tom :)

Hello,
Rajesh Sankar Iyer wrote on 2011-06-13 19.32:
My name is Rajesh Sankar.R. I am a final year student of Chemical
Engineering at Adhiyamaan College of Engineering, Hosur, India. I have
just
joined the marketing mailing list, and I would like to contribute
actively.
My college consists of more than 5000 students and staffs. Almost
all of
them are using MS Office as their default productivity suite. The main
reason is that many are unaware of the capability of the opensource
suites
like LibreOffice. Previously I was using OpenOffice.org and suggested to
many of my friends and classmates. Some of them did shift to
OpenOffice.org.
Now I would like to take up the job of promoting LibreOffice in my
college
as much as I can.
I would like to join hands with the team and deliver as much as I
can.
thank you very much for your introduction, and welcome to the community -
it is
good to have you with us!
This is the main marketing mailing list, so you have arrived at the right
place.
:-) Just lurk around for a few days to see how things are going and what
we
do,
and soon you will feel comfortable and home.
Should you have time, I'd also like to invite you to the marketing
conference
call on June 22nd:

Again, welcome, great to have you on the show!
