I shall make the change very soon based on the insight provided by everyone here<div><br></div><div>But i would again like to clear my stand : </div><div><br></div><div>The event is for not just those who are already using FOSS tools but for those as wells who are just beginners in this field. Many college students (for whom this event is aimed at ) have used a variety of open source browsers but most have not ventured into Open Standards and hence tools like OpenOffice. Hence, I had thought that a *.doc file would reach more people. But as suggested by most here, the use of close standards doesn't put forward the correct aim of the event, and hence I shall provide a link to download it some format like ODT.</div> <div><br></div><div>Thank you for all the suggestion and arguments .</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 9:22 PM, Vivek Khurana <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hiddenharmony@gmail.com">hiddenharmony@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 8:52 PM, Rajat Khanduja<br> <<a href="mailto:rajatkhanduja13@gmail.com">rajatkhanduja13@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> </div><div class="im">> I shall look into your suggestion (Thank you) ..but this is aimed at<br> > promoting FOSS not *imposing* open standards.
