| <p>Why should the Community award OOoCon 2009/2010 to your team?</p> |

| <p><strong>Assam Electronics Development Corporation Ltd |
| (AMTRON)</strong> is representing the Guwahati OpenOffice.org community |
| and is pleased to propose <strong>Guwahati, Assam (INDIA)</strong> as the |
| second OpenOffice.org Conference outside of Europe in this year 2009.</p> |
| |
| <p>AMTRON is a big promoter of OpenOffice.org and hopes to contribute for |
| its cause. The Government of Assam has continuously shown its patronage |
| towards OpenOffice.org since the year 2006 and with this initiative, the |
| IT Department through its nodal agency – AMTRON has been capable of |
| taking up major projects in open source and promoting OpenOffice.org in |
| offices, schools, colleges and universities within and outside Assam. We |
| are regularly holding seminars and workshops on ODF/ OpenOffice.org and |
| LINUX. We are also keenly focused on developing and providing local |
| language support on LINUX to the local communities. In India we are one |
| of the most committed lot on the OpenOffice.org and LINUX.</p> |
| |
| <p>The Government of India has launched the National eGovernance Plan |
| (NeGP), which is one of the biggest government driven IT & ICT |
| initiative in the world covering State Wide Area Networks, |
| citizen-centric service delivery windows, Data centers and other |
| requisite infrastructure. In Assam, AMTRON is the nodal agency for |
| implemnattion of these programmes; and most of it is happening on Open |
| source, Open standards, ODF and 100% OpenOffice.org.</p> |
| |
| <p>Holding of the OooCon2009 at Guwahati would usher a new era in not |
| only in Assam, but also in India and and the rest of the South East Asia. |
| Almost 25-30% of the population working in the IT Industry in India |
| belongs to Assam and the North East India. OooCon2009 at Guwahati would |
| rightly put the focus on developing countries where the Governments are |
| fast adopting OpenOffice.org as the best possible solution to roll out |
| major IT initiatives for the citizens, school children and the |
| employees.</p> |
| |
| <p>Guwahati is the gateway to several exciting tourist spots such as |
| Shillong, Darjeeling and Gangtok. In Assam itself there are two great |
| World Heritage Sites, namely Kaziranga National Park and the Manas Wild |
| Life Sanctuary. Guwahati can be considered as a feast for the |
| OpenOffice.org conference attendees and has the required infrastructure |
| to be one of the best locations worldwide. By organizing the |
| International Conference on OpenOffice.org this year, the people of Assam |
| would feel very proud in extending the boundaries to the world of |
| OpenOffice.org and its contributors and provide many business |
| opportunities for this region and India as a whole.</p> |
