This morning I was talking to people who are well-wishers of FOSS Nepal regarding some system design issues. During a part of that conversation there was one task extremely suitable for an organization like FOSS Nepal to carry out. So I brought that up and they told me directly that involving FOSS Nepal would not make much sense as FOSS Nepal was near dead. Then moving with that conversation they were of the view that FOSS Nepal's present is bleak and it does not seem to have a future. So after they left I got around to thinking a little, because what they said really struck me. When I thought about it I realised that FOSS Nepal has been shrinking in its charm, for whatever it used to be. The events has been reduced, activities has decreased. So much so the mails in the mailing list has decreased. Before, same time last year, was an average of 7-8 to mails a day. Now we are hitting 2-3 average or even less for a long stretch few days back. One can always check the FOSS mailing list to verify that. That sense of purpose seems to have run out. I understand that people have to do their thing, but maybe we were not able to generate a future generation of people with purpose. The pool of people, that are the heart and soul of this community, seems to be drying out.
So my Dilemma is : is this the start to the end??? or is this a start of a new dawn???
