I've been formulating a professional e-mail to some of the Christian
|
|
bookstore chains here in South Africa, and I decided to make it
|
|
available to the openlp.org community. This letter basically just talks
|
|
about what openlp.org is, what open source software is, and why we want
|
|
them to distribute it.
|
|
|
|
I've created a forum topic with the letter in it, and I encourage you to
|
|
look at the letter, translate it into your language, and decide amongst
|
|
yourselves who should be the "openlp.org representative" for your
|
|
country. Just remember to keep it sounding professional.

Derek and I have been looking at how much it will cost to print labels
|
|
for CDs and give those CDs away. We came to roughly 1 US dollar per CD.
|
|
This isn't a lot, and you're welcome to investigate doing this yourself.
|
|
I'll post CD labels and other packaging and promotional things later, so
|
|
that you can print out and use these things. So if your letter is
|
|
successful, you'll be able to download official openlp.org labels and
|
|
print them out, and give the bookstores professional looking CDs.
|
|
|
|
But don't stop there. Why not print out more labels and CDs and hand
|
|
them out to folks from other Churches that you might know, so that they
|
|
can also benefit from open source software?
