Another suggestion. We all do have a list of email ids in our address book. Send a single email titled "use *only* open standards to protect your own freedom of knowledge " and send "on purpose " a document in an open standard which explains the subject line in details.
One may call this spamming but doing this for a good cause is not that harmful isn't it?

Document Freedom Day is on the 25thof March.
Thanks for reminding. Let us plan some activities for the day. Some suggestions:
- An essay competition for students (Higher Secondary?)
- Lectures in educational institutions
- Public lectures
- Write letters to organisations that continue to use proprietary
standards 5) Those who can, please write articles in local/national media 6) Quiz competition for students 7) Just printing posters and displaying in campuses
What do people think?
Also Try to push something like this http://www.keionline.org/blogs/2008/12/06/dcos-agreement-on-procurement-in-s...
More tight agreement on Procurement in support of Open standards based on National (Draft) policy for Open standards for e-governance
we can push Public/Private Institutions & Political parties (elections are near) to sign this agreement
