Hello,<br>Today evening 10 of us from FSUG, BMSCE, RVCE, Christ College, HP.... had a meeting <br>and we decided to have a candle light vigil to pressurise BIS to appeal against OOXML <br>being given ISO status amid huge irregularities.<br>
As rightly observed somewhere on cyberspace, this campaign has now moved from being <br>technical into being very political.<br>Date:15th April, 2008<br>Time: 18:00hrs<br>Venue: Mahatma Gandhi statue, MG road, Bangalore<br>
<br clear="all">We request all to please participate and also support in any way possible.<br>-> For instance, maybe Sun can sponsor a nice huge flex/banner and a couple <br>hundred CDs/DVDs of OO.o apart from stirring up the media...<br>
Joe.. hope you are listening...<br>-> Get some NGOs involved.<br>Senthil and Balaji What say you?(Since I saw quite a few mails in this regard).<br>-> Campaign at some educational institutions that do not have exams.<br>
-> Keep a huge stock of candles before M$ cleans out the market.<br>-> Contact media<br>-> Get police permission(I'll handle this)<br>-> maybe create an OOXML banner made of bananas (as in Banana republic ;))<br>
-> Others that may have been forgotten but are absolutely necessary...<br><br>-- <br>Vikram Vincent<br>+919448810822<br><a href="http://www.swatantra.org/">http://www.swatantra.org/</a><br><a href="http://translate.swatantra.org/">http://translate.swatantra.org/</a>
