Today, i got the news about the ODF Petition Confirmation, from a chinese ubuntu forum. i think it's a good thing, so I went to their website and sign my name and computers.
Few minutes later, I received a mail from opendocumentfellowship.org, than I get a little mad and out of control. I don know which language they are using, but I think this activity should make people from all over the country to attend in. at least they should write the confirm message in several languages, absoulatly including english.
i'm not saying English is a very fasinating language, but it's a truth that it's the language in Internet. Chinses has most users, but i never expect they would make a chinese version. A english version is just fine......
here is the email:

The unwritten geek credo states that originality and strangeness are good, and that blind conformity and stupidity are unforgivable.
