If we are unable to create a formal body and formal 'Common Minimum

software practices containing us also?
Are we a forked existence which is unable to formalize even as a
structured entity? Why Indian/State Government/IAS/PCS/IES has no
representation in FOSSCOMM?
Do they see us as hippies? I am forced to think that we do mostly
bottom to top work and that too without a uniform structure. We need
to organize formally very soon because this pace of action is
frustrating for the community. UGC, AICTE ec. must be having FOSSCOMM
members as part of their core committee.
The purpose of forming FOSSCOMM is to be able to work together in
multiple ways to promote the adoption of FOSS in India. To be an
effective group, we need to find ways of organizing ourselves - and
creating structures/processes that can create greater impact. Many
people have mentioned this as a critical need to make FOSSCOMM more
effective in promoting FOSS adoption. I have proposed the 'FOSSCOMM
Working Group' sometime back and we need to take such kind of ideas
forward in the near future.
Structures need not necessarily be anti democratic just as lack of
structure does not necessarily mean its more democratic. We need to
combine open processes along with structures, so that we do not remain
only an active mailing list
thanks and regards
