How? Please try to come up with specific points. Try to come to the
level where you actually place the *s and ;s in your source code.

> We *are* the *third largest* contributor to Fedora.  (read /topic at
> #fedora-india)

That means nothing. Nothing whatsoever. First, second, third,
whatever. Those are just buzzwords. They sound nice on a newspaper,
magazine or tabloid.

At the end of the day, what counts is your name in the changelog and
the diff associated with it. Having or not having your name in a
magazine might make you happy or sad, but has nothing to do with the
respect that you earn within the community.

> In the spirit of a good, constructive discussion, I request you to put
> forward your views on why a FUDCon in India is a bad idea.

It is not about "why a FUDCon in India is a bad idea". I can be a
cynic and come up with a dozen reasons. That is not the point.

The point is to think how it is going to make an impact. I tried to
provide some indications on this on IRC yesterday, but unfortunately
it got drowned in the ensuing disucussion.

Cheers,
Debarshi
