BusinessWorld magazine has an article on the recent standards battle at the
Bureau of Indian Standards over Microsoft OOXML proposal. As you know, the
OOXML proposal was rejected unanimously by the LITD15 committee formed by
BIS to review OOXML. The ODF Alliance which includes FSF, Red Hat, IBM and
Sun worked hard to ensure that OOXML was not approved. The reasons for this
can be read at www.noooxml.org

BusinessWorld is now running a vote on its web site asking readers:

"Which documentation standard do you want to vote for?" The link for this
article and the vote (see right hand top corner of the page) is:

I request all FOSS supporters to vote for ODF.

Regards,

Venky
