2 clarifications. I am sending this because a lot of people have missconceptions about it on phone including press people
1. The programme was organised under the banner of *FSUG Bangalore* & *FOSS Communities in India* . We really need to congratulate students of RV College , BMS ,and participants from c3 for making it a huge success. Also the mobpuller in the event award goes to Mr. Renuka Prasad
2. The programme was titled Candle light Vigil *for Document Freedom* . We are against all Proprietory standards including M$ crap OOXML .
The programme demanded a National policy mandating the use of Free Document Formats such as the Open Document Format for data storage and requesting the Government of India to appeal ISO approval of OOXML based on its no vote and comments
