Hi Ivan,
was good to speak with you again. As promised here a short proposal for an activity you can do in Serbia during those dark days until next year.
It is about http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/. I would propose to ask people in Serbia to translate the following pages into Serbian:
- http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html - http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/letter.en.html - http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.en.html
While doing that others can already look for commercials on Serbian public institution's websites. E.g. by using "site:government.xy acrobat reader" for differnt pages.
It will be a problem to open the official bug list http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/buglist.en.html again, but you can just use the same format.
@Nico: Can you sent Ivan an example of how the generated files look like, so he can send you a file with all the institutions and we can provide him the PDFs?
Other option is to just send it by e-mail in the beginning and just send those a letter who do not react on e-mails.
- Blog and Microblog, about your activity. - Follow-up with the public institutions, often they ask questions about Free Software in general or Open Standards.
If I can help you, please let me know.
All the best, Matthias

@Ivan: if you want us to generate a pdf file with one letter per page that you can directly print and post by regular mail to the institutions, you can take the attached file as example and fill as many <bug>s as institutions you have. In this case, please be sure to fill the institution-name, institution-address and institution-url (at least) correctly. These are the three fields that appear on the produced letters. If you don't want to bother with this special format, you can send us a list of the institutions (still providing the three important pieces of information for each) in plain text.
By the way, we could include these bugs furtively on the consecrated webpage. In this case though, we need the institutions to be contacted, because the goal is hat the page[1] be all green at some point ;).
