I had real bad experience with ChennaiRb, the ruby community for Chennai. I
wrote a book which had a cover of a beautiful woman, and like the Talibans
people were up in arms against me for that. I fought back, that irritated
them and they found a silly reason to chuck me out. I have created my own
group Chennai Ruy programmers as alternative where it has no rules, but
none knows about it.
Ii find Ilugc far far better than those groups (thanks to good admins like
Shrinivasan T, and Madan US who really loves this group and was my boss
before), but Indian groups are for propaganda, power and mob mobilization
than about real technology.
The book on non Indian forum had earned me praises. Believe it or not many
women has liked it on facebook!! Indian men have weak and inflexible mind I
suppose.

I was reading this post from a friend Shirish agarwall from pune who
is a member of debian community and a key participant in community
events in pune and also an organiser for many debian events across the
country.
Here are some points about community problems
a. Factionalism
b. Cabalism (or simply Cabals)
As have been part of both parts do understand that both factions and
cabals start with good intentions but sometimes later warp beyond
recognition.
Next he goes on to say
c. No communication, Mis-communication
d. Fragmented content with contradictory messages.
The above two I have also seen time and again as a ?feature? of the
Indian FOSS community at large where most communities in India don?t
really communicate to other FOSS communities or world at large or are
pretty bad at things.

its quite interesting and is relevant to ILUGC also !
PS : As of now I am just posting this to ILUGC as I believe this
community is one of the few strong ones left in India.
