[ubuntu-in] FOSSilize - FOSS Camp at Techniche'10

[Rajat Khanduja]

I shall look into your suggestion (Thank you) ..but this is aimed at
promoting FOSS not *imposing* open standards. People who may not use
OpenOffice would face trouble downloading and editing the form. On the
contrary those with OpenOffice too can access *.doc file.

Also, this is for anyone who has or has not used FOSS products so that they
can make the transition. All they need is interest.
