[Media] Online interview for OpenFest web site and press releases

[Silvina Georgieva]

Hello, Georg,

My name is Silvina Georgieva and I am part of the media team of OpenFest 
(www.openfest.org). Our team takes care of press coverage of the fest 
and keeping the web site updated with news items and information on our 
guests which may be of interest to the media.
We think that the Bulgarian press and FOSS fans would be interested if 
you answered a few questions in the form of an online interview. Your 
answers will be published on the OpenFest web site and distributed to 
the press for publication.
I am sending you the questions below, and I will be happy to receive 
your answers as an e-mail reply. Thank you in advance for your time.

1. How did you decide to set the FSFE and what issues you wanted to work 
on through it?
2. Do you have any experience working with the state administrations in 
Eastern European countries? If so, what are your impressions?
3. What is the FSFE practice in approaching and working with institutions?
4. You have visited many countries and met many local FOSS communities. 
Could you tell us about a specific story or case that especially 
impressed you?
5. Can you give us a brief explanation for non-technical people on why 
open standards are important to the government, the business and the 
communities, and your position on MS-OOXML?
6. What will the topic of your talk on OpenFest be? What are your 
expectations regarding this conference and your participation in it?
