I think what you suggest above is the de-facto state of things. I like to think that the difference is that at Freed.in, we do try to listen to other people, and act on a consensus when possible, though how far we are successful in this is a question for others. I am quite worried about (a) how to make it possible for more people to participate actively, and (b) include more people in the group planning and executing the event. Our inability to get more people involved both here, and in ILUG-Delhi is a serious matter of concern for us.
