Subject: Congrats for submitting the appeal against the Micro$oft OOXML format
To:
info@bis.org.in
Hello,
I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for keeping my faith in this body by not only opposing the OOXML format the first time around but also filing the appeal. I really hope you guys keep supporting the ODF format especially when in a country like India, a patent encumbered OOXML format is not the way to go for people who cannot afford costly Microo$oft software to read them.
Congrats and Thank you for restoring my faith in your organization.

Good for you. If there's one country where F/OSS really makes sense is India. Speaking to some of my Indian co-workers I get the sense that M$ has the politicians in their pockets. Hopefully things change there.
