Software Gratuito.
Todos los manuales son gratuitos y cualquiera puede contribuir. Ofrecemos
materiales en línea, así como también en PDF y en forma de libro. Hay, por
el momento, cuarenta manuales en inglés, quince en persa y diez en holandés.
Actualmente se están formando comunidades finlandesas, francesas y birmanas.

En este momento también estamos buscando gente interesada en comenzar
comunidades de Manuales FLOSS en español y catalán. Esto involucraría la
traducción de la interfase y, después, la escritura de material original o
la traducción de manuales ya existentes. Se trata de un esfuerzo voluntario
para ayudar a distribuir información sobre cómo utilizar Software Gratuito
en la mayor cantidad de lenguas posibles.

Deseamos contactarnos con gente antes del evento Oxcars en Octubre
(Barcelona) para discutir estas cosas. Luego, tenemos la intención de
encontrarnos durante el evento y construir las herramientas para los
manuales españoles y catalanes, entrenar a los interesados y trabajar para
traducir algunos de los contenidos existentes y crear nuevos materiales.
