we didn't start the fire .. but we gotta handle it .. this trickle can quickly become a torrent, flood and tidal wave .. i am fully confident that with a little bit of planning and a lot, Lot, LOT of h/w (hard work ;-D) .. we can do it .. in one of the exhibitions that i was associated in organising, we DID follow this route .. very little work really .. one member took printed A4 size announcements .. to our surprise, we had 'contingents' in multiples of tens .. coming up and asking us to take them around the exhibition please .. boy ! .. weren't we glad, surprised, stunned .. and totally unprepared for that kind of 'respect' given to our efforts .. this is all possible .. but needs those things ..
so .. let's first try to crystallise the whole thing .. AND THEN .. think about increasing the number of visitors .. this would be needed in sangam, park .. NIS will attract lots of people naturally .. compass intends to beef up the hype of the full day linx affair at khudiram .. IF we CAN deliver .. only IF we CAN deliver .. and they need to be convinced about it .. fully convinced .. they will foot the ENTIRE bill of publicising .. no cost to us .. naturally therefore no gain to us too ! .. but the mileage that we were all looking for, wanting, craving .. well we'll get light yeas of mileage .. can we do it ? YES do we want to do it ? i don't know .. it HAS to be a joint effort .. with no 'shooting down', 'objecting', 'obstructing' .. please ! if you can .. then help .. if you can't help .. let others do what they can .. don't dishearten .. discourage .. comment .. just let the good thing happen ! ..pk ----- Original Message ----- From: Sumeet Madhukar Moghe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ILUG CAL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 12:44 AM Subject: Re: [ilug-cal] Compass .. bigger and more bigger participation > On Sun, 2002-12-29 at 18:07, pksharma wrote: > > > 7. it is possible to go in for a huge membership drive .. double > > our membership .. or more too > > > b. to fix our membership drive target > > > - suggest > > > > - assume responsiblities .. indicate willingness > > = increase awareness of linux > > > > = handle school students .. large numbers > > I just got an idea.
