Yes its true that kerala has over 3.5 crore of people.. but the number 1500 is more than.. the usual number that of 10 - 15 people.. who consider themselves to represent be the whole of india.. (and that too on a mailing list)
How can anyone represent someone else in a mailing list - that too if the mailing list doesn't even have a moderator ? To see "representation" where it doesn't exist is a cognitive disorder, that exists with people who tend to see hierarchies and structures within an organisation. Opinions here carry weight when it bears the burden of experience and wisdom. Participation in such lists also is a way to gain insights and experience and that's what brings most of us here.
The number 1500 is definately a huge number for the philosophy we are
campaigning.. organisers have put in a good effort to mobilise those many people. Appreciate them for that.
Looking at the capabilities of organisers, their roles within organisations that they associate with and the inherent unaudited tasks (most of which affect lives of public citizens) - the decisions of which lie currently with these organisations - this is certainly not appreciable. [If it were a pure students' programme of CUSAT, then the case would have been totally different.]
"Pure students" so... somebody affiliated to some organizations.. make them impure and they should neither use free software nor propagate free software.. great .. im getting meet so many fundamentalists here..
