[svlug] California AB 1668

[Cyrus Mack]

For those of you unaware, California AB 1668 would mandate open document formats for 
the California state government. See the text here - 
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/asm/ab_1651-1700/ab_1668_bill_20070223_introduced.html

I'm putting together a web site at http://www.bytesfree.org/

Find your local assemblymember and write them. If they happen to be on the committee 
for which a hearing is scheduled on April 17, even better. The committee in question 
is the Committee on Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy. The breakdown is 4 
democrats to 2 republicans. 

Apparently, Microsoft is already lobbying hard to defeat it and prevent it from 
getting out of committee. 

Please forward this to other interested groups.

Sincerely,
Cyrus Mack
