Hi everyone,
apperently I received the answers off-list (see below) and they landed in my spam-box :/ Anway, I am not completely sure what he is trying to tell me. Can someone confirm that the files were replaced, or can someone on our side just convert the stuff by the means I described and give them the files? I think I got a little too technical there. Maybe quality is not the most important thing here[1].
Can someone prepare the letter, so they have something to hang on there wall? It seems rather important to them, and although I don't in general support school rankings and competitions, in this case it might create a good example to other schools in Russia. Who should we put as signee on the letter? MK as German head? Karsten as Prez? Me or Henner as official spokespeople for pdfreaders.org? Any of the interns as the people doing most of the work right now? Or even people of the edu team? → So many people involved right now ;)

I'll be able when they are.

I'm going to convert .doc (including those in the archives), .xls, .ppt, .pptx, .mp3 (with VLC, soundconverter wouldn't work for me yet).
I still need some instructions about http://kromshkola.ucoz.ru/uroki/__.pps (Impress seems to render it but I don't know whither to convert it).
Best regards, Ineiev
Hello Ineiev,
thank you very much for all your efforts!

The last thing I've seen on the list was that all files could be converted to open standard formats. Are they already online?
Is there anything left what the edu-team can do for them?
Thanks again,
Guido

No visible progress since then. I'm sorry for so much noise.

Probably not; as far as I understand, they are not really going to switch to open standards.

I think it is fine if you sign it. If they want to have it more official, than can ask again and than Karsten can sign it.

We shouldn't rush on the letter as long as we are not sure they have changed all formats. If we "certify" them, they must be exemplar or it could fall back against us...

True, when we can provide directions about how to do it (I mean the .pps file and perhaps YouTube videos). when we can't, I think we could be satisfied with their promise to take care about the issue in the future: after all, they were not aware that the formats were antisocial.
If we "certify" them, they must be exemplar or it could fall back against us...
Good point. I suggest not to "certify" them if possible, rather thank for their work and willingness for co-operation.
Best, Ineiev

I like that approach, too.

I opened the pps with open office (3.3.0 on fedora 14) and was ale to save it as odp. I've attached it. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone,
Ineiev, can you tell me when everything is done? Can someone else prepare the letter for that case, so I can sign it? I unfortunately don't have any time ressource for pdfreaders the next two weeks.

I'll certainly tell if it is, though I'm not sure that this will happen; by this Monday some links to data in Open Standards had been provided, but there was no progress since then. I'll speak to them whether we are to cancel the process.

Dont't be harsh on them, they seem very eager. I think, a lot of my problems in communication with them were because of language.
Could you not just convert all the files and send them to them? Excpet that one __.pps file maybe?

They answered they will certainly convert in the nearest future. I'll report when they do.

I did, they received the latest converted files this Monday. I never mentioned the .pps file to them.
