OOXML Fighting Fund

UKUUG is seeking funding help in its legal action against BSI over the proposed OOXML standard.
UKUUG is facing a potential legal bill of some 50k GBP if it is not successful.

The greatest part of our costs, if we lose, will be in paying the BSI legal costs. This stood at 24,500 GBP in mid May. Our legal opponents are well funded and, if they lose, the legal costs will not cause them any grief; the same is not true for UKUUG -- costs if we lose would cause severe problems. We regard this as an important matter but cannot afford to spend all of UKUUG's reserves in this action. A donation to the OOXML fighting fund would be gratefully received.

If you wish to donate to support us, you can do so using the options below (or get in touch with us at chairman@ukuug.org).

You may contribute as follows:

(pounds.pence, e.g. 50.00)
