India votes against ooxml

From The Economic Times…..

“We unanimously agree on the disapproval of OOXML with comments. The same will be submitted to ISO,” National Informatics Centre head and BIS technical committee chairperson Nita Verma said after a marathon meeting that lasted over six hours. There was no need for a voting as only Infosys Technologies and CSI supported Microsoft.

A big thanks to everyone involved in this, especially Dr Nagarjuna (who announced it in the FSF India mailing list yesterday).
