[Fsf-friends] india votes against ooxml

[Viswanath Durbha]

Is there any place where we can read more information about the whole
process and discussions that led to this decision?

I was thinking of posting the story on www.fsdaily.com.

This might help other people and places where the standards debate is still on.

Thanks and Regards,
Viswanath
