The tranlate.org team are going to help this campaign a lot. OpenCD is going to used initially but they will shortly jump to a custom 'Go Open Source' with the latest software each time with as many translations as possible.
What you must realise is that this campaign has little to do with OSS people - it is aimed at people who have never heard of OSS and even at people who don't have computers yet. If they can remove MS as the dfault in peoples minds and replace it with OSS then OSS can go a long way.
They are also talking to a largely IT illiterate population who will learn quicker by trying than by reading the philosophies of OSS!
If you also think that simply giving away CD's is their only tool with an R18m budget then your imagination is severly lacking!
