He! He! Understand the media revolution. I, being kinda old fashioned, don't use either of the two FB and Twitter. As long as there is communication happening that is all my concern. If you guys say there is communication, then there is. Regarding discussions so far, there are three points that I have found worth working on. 1. Abhishek's recommendation for a steering committee --- I think we need that asap. And we need that to meet every alternate weekends (for Lava's sake) to move things forward. 2. How do people get involved in FOSS? --- there seems to be no clear cut implecations of FOSS involvement. I guess its like people want to get involved. They want to start somewhere, but all the community can say as of now is do anything you like. That's is kinda hard to find out, what I like? When I am just starting off. So that steering committee could be involved in creating a roadmap where people can contribute meaningfully asap. 3. Issue of advocacy role --- Well, FOSS Nepal's pre-dominant role so far has been that of advocacy. It does not mean it cannot find other roles. So change of or expansion of role seems to be necessary. Also more people need to put in ideas. One that I might not see very clearly about is the code projects. This reaction is mainly after working on trying to get 3 projects on-board and going nowhere with that. Bringing thoughts of history - eBarnamala is one, still hanging in there with work done solely by me 2 years back. Then there is the calendar library for Python, again with no takers. Then there was the reference content for schools creation that went nowhere, but for that I am also part and parcel of the blame. Having said that I am for code projects, but I would now prefer to focus more on content creation and aggregation. That is where FOSS has a big role, open content for a more open society. Finally its time to bring in fresh ideas and fresh directions. Unlike Nepali politics, the old hats got to bring in the new ones.
