Hi Andy,

If you may recall recently the Indic-Font workshop was held in 
Bangalore, which looked into the issue of development of otf. After the 
workshop it was decided to give focussed attention to each language and 
build the language resources and take up localisation projects besides 
offcourse developing OT fonts. I would request you to take up the 
getting together of the oriya language community. Already initiatives 
have been taken by Punjabi, Hindi and Bengali language regional group 
for organisation of the community in these languages. I am currently in 
Bhopal discussing for support for Hindi regional group and I am happy to 
inform you and other groups that for a hindi group initiative people are 
getting together in M.P. along with sponsorship. I shall soon be posting 
on the framework for the regional workshop for feedback by the community.

best

vijay
