Point well taken. I sincerely regret all the negative feedback that you got about the event per se. It is great to have a foss event at the annual festival of a premiere institute like IIT-G. I personally believe that any event that promotes foss in whichever way is good. Ramnarayan made a very good suggestion. You could provide links to both the formats - with may be a teaser like "Your software does not support open standards? Click here for .doc file". As for the video, all the major browsers a fast adopting html5 standards (except the obvious ones) which supports <video> tag and link to .ogv files. Hope you take the suggestions well. As for all others, I would once reiterate that we should observe the Ubuntu Code of Conduct [0] (atleast on this list) which includes * Be Considerate * Be Respectful * Be Collaborative [0] http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct \0/ -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry www.mistrynitesh.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GB/J/IT/O>TW d+(-) s+:+>: a- C+ UL>+++ P L++>+++ !E W++ N* o?
