/** I agree about effective management of volunteers.
But then the managers in such activities/events are also
volunteers, as humans they are not perfect. Individuals from these
"10 to 20 volunteers" should also take on leadership when they see
a gap, instead of just following and looking for instructions from
"managers." **/
the managers are visionaries.. the rest are volunteers :)
My opinion is that we dont have leading volunteers.. (including
myself).. we are ready to contribute.. But, we expect some one to
lead us.. This is the basic problem in volunteering in india...
I could not agree with you more but this is part of nature in all of us,
why bother, let some one else do it!
WHO??? .. i am proposing a shared team for this management..
I would disagree that ILUG-C is direction less, I am a member of several
ILUG lists. ILUG-Chennai and ILUG-Pune are the most active.
There is no doubt, ILUGC is very active. but, by the term directionless, i
mean, we have no focussed goals with end results.. there can be many goals
and many end results..
this is just my feeling after participating in this for past one year.
You should get involved in the ILUG-C sponsored activities, inject new
ideas or processes. Please get in touch with Kenneth Gonsalves
(NRCFOSS) who is also a member in this list.
Ya.. i know kenneth, as he is the mentor for me in learning about Top
Posting :)
Unfortunately, lack of open source awareness is true even in premier
technical institutions like IITs, the percentage of open source
adopters v/s the total student body is probably < 10%.
Any plans or sessions to analyse the reasons behind and document it?
