[GREN-Exec] Minutes GREN Exec. Apr. 9/09

[Susan Koswan]

Stupid, bloody computers...

I've attached it in pdf. We got Office 2007, and I had no idea the format would be unreadable by others. I've been sending drafts out in Word in case there were changes, they could be edited directly into the document. 

Help Theo - what should I be sending them in to allow this?

Thanks,
Susan K

  Hi all,

  The minutes of the last 2 meetings were not easily decipherable here. They were in a specific Microsoft Windows format. We do not use Windows. We use open source/linux.

  Suggestion: send out minutes as .pdf file which everyone can read with the free downloadable adobe reader software.

  Does everyone have the ability to make/read .pdfs? 

  Personally, I do not send .doc formats into cyberspace for several reasons:

    a.. It can be edited
    b.. Personal information from source can be traced 
    c.. Whether you can open or not depends on specific operating system and word processor software

  Pdfs only require free adobe reader program to decode which available for all computer platforms.
