Dear Linux users in Bulgaria, Microsoft is pushing hard to get an ISO stamp on their Office OpenXML (OOXML) standard.
Bulgaria is an ISO P-member, which means that they *have to* vote on the proposed standard. The deadline to submit technical comments on this broken standard is tomorrow 31st July to the BDS (http://www.bds-bg.org/). We have rumors that Microsoft is pilling up Business partners companies in Bulgaria in order to have a majority of votes to back their standard. If you can submit technical comments, as well as the noooxml petition in Bulgarian (we have 230 signatories from BG), that would help: http://www.noooxml.org/open:comments-en (96 of those) http://www.noooxml.org/local--files/arguments/FFII_CH_Comments.pdf (203 of those) If you represent a company, that would also help to have different hats in the Technical Committee. If you can help, please let me know. I am available on IRC irc.freenode.net #noooxml if you need to talk. Best, -- Benjamin Henrion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-4148403 _______________________________________________ Lug-bg mailing list [email protected] http://linux-bulgaria.org/mailman/listinfo/lug-bg
