This is welcome...
Even I had a similar rush towards the same issue.
I use totally linux & java in my laptop and when downloading some applications 
etc most of the websites only have MS Doc format downloads and there is no PDF 
or atleast HTML or atleast plain text format.

Thanks & I assure my participation towards this.
Selvakumar.

Subject: [Ilugc] STPI mandating MS technologies!!

Hi all,

I was planning to get my firm registered with the STPI and noticed a very 
curious pattern. 
Most downloads from STPI are in MS formats (doc, xls...)- 
http://www.hyd.stpi.in/downloads/download.html

Also STPI is asking exclusively for power-point presentations.

I was wondering if there is any group in India which will take this up. Will 
FSF India be interested? If there is nobody to do this, I might have to start 
something myself - am open to ideas.
I think we need a signature/letter campaign with participation from profs/HODs 
of major Educational institutes and CEOs'/mgmt. of as many IT firms as we can. 
If these firms are already registered with STPI, it will be even better.

Thanks,
kc
