Hi Barry
I have to say I'm a bit surprised reading this mail from you. I really
don't care about what the issue is, and what side you or anyone is, but
this is not the way to address and answer feedback and queries that I've
heard from others a hundred times. This is not the kind of professional
Hi Theo,
Look, this is a two-way street. Ashwin made rather robust assertions along
side his feedback and I think I am entitled to both clarify points and call
out assertions that are unfair or unfounded IMO. The fact that I did that,
shouldn't be interpreted as disrespect for a senior editor or
Hi Barry
Thanks for the response. A couple of things, while I do agree on some of
your observations about the trends on this list, I would like to point out
I have rarely seen Ashwin partake in those discussions, either on the list
or on IRC. To highlight general trends on a list, and use him to

Barry, I think the moot point is being missed here. There is a general feeling
(atleast from what I understand) that IP should focus on what the community
cannot do - and the community should be more involved in deciding what IP
should do. Other chapters that have hired staff have hired people

Thank you for your responding to me, Barry. I would like to point out a
few issues, if I may, to set the context to my stated wish about what India
Programs should be doing.
A significant proportion of the events listed in your reference were
community events and if we consider only those
Dear Ashwin,
Thanks for your message. I have to say that specific comments are much more
useful than vague generalisations, because these are actionable for us and
we can correct misperceptions (of which there are some significant ones
below). I'd like to respond to your points below. Please
Dear Barry,
thank you for taking the trouble to provide a comprehensive and timely
response to my critique.
There is no doubt that India Programs is putting in hard work, and there
are definitely good results as you pointed out and I agree with. All your
points are well taken, though I am not in
Thanks Ashwin for this additional response. A couple of quick notes to
close this one out.
Best,
Barry

Hi all,
On mobile: We are working on this. Deals take time to consummate and are
confidential until they are finalized with partners, but there is work
going on in India and we hope to have some good stuff soon.
@Ashwin: At one level I agree, but another way to think about this is as
I'd much rather see India Programs arrange such deals than waste time doing
things that normal editors can do themselves.
