Yes local support is the key. We are banking completely on local
support for the program. There are two assumptions here - the local
community has to rise up to own the event in their locality and then
ride the event to promote the local activism.
What we are offering is an application framework and the APIs -
communities have to hack their way in and create their own
applications :-). Isn't that how Free Software Communities work.
Only the real life requirement drives any good project.. If we see most
of the open source projects, they are initially done for a specific
requirement for the real life.
The main reason why there is not much of open source projects is that
those who have technical knowledge is not connected with those who need
a software for their opearations..
Also, there has been no major discussion in this group (as far as i have
known) so far on any ideas to start the open source project.
I personally have lot of ideas which can be started as an open source
projects.. but where is the platform to discuss all those.. only when
we discuss we can create a workable model and then implement those.
