Yes - MS has proved once again that with really deep pockets, anything is possible. Read report1 and report2 It's time that we intensify efforts like this at all levels.

Hmm .. now organizations themselves have to take steps to choose the open document format; and *convincing* organizations is not easy! I think, most of the institutes in India do not have any particular standard as of now. Students can therefore try to motivate the `heads' to make ODF the default standard for all academic purposes. Starting from educational institutions is the best option!

Yes - but even that is not an easy job because there is very little awareness about these issues ...

Why don't we keep a BOF session on Document Freedom at FOSSMeet? http://fossmeet.in/node/127 I've mailed Anivar requesting him to take the initiative, but I haven't got a reply till now.
