Hi,
Before I begin the mail, here are some interesting trends:
o the maps show that the uptake of rawhide in India is on the increase
o there has been an increase in the number of applicants and the number
of accepted candidates from India in GSoC particularly in the Fedora and
JBoss Project
o local language spins seem to be reasonably popular
o the current mirrors at NITH and WBUT are straining to serve bits and
we need more mirrors like IIT-M to come online
o the consumption of Fedora bits via torrents show that an increase in
the number of seeds can have an impact
o at the last count we have an increasing list of contributors to Fedora
o last time I checked we had 61 Ambassadors across the country
These trends are a fairly healthy indicator of what we can do by working
within the FOSS community in India to encourage and mentor increased
contributions to Fedora and upstream projects.
The current focus points are around 3 aspects:
People | Infrastructure | Presence
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RegionalTeams/India has some details about
what we can do together
Suggestions, feedback and brickbats are welcome :)
