I would second that. I have come to know preparations for LCA start 18 months in advance and they have a dedicated team to plan the event in advance. Preparation in advance is very important when communities are involved. Communities have an informal structure, even if they are committee-ised . There are individuals in every community having varying opinions. So it takes time to garner the support of the community as a whole. Communities are not efficient corporate and are slow to decide because communities normally have wider objectives than corporate. Ilugd for instance is not limited to supporting Linux only, but we support OSS overall, which happens to be bigger than Linux. regards VK Engineers normally have problem with every solution. If not they have a solution in search of a problem. http://creative.linux-delhi.org Disclaimer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
