== We don't have rockstars== | |||
"Why are there are no FOSS *Rockstars* from India - people who are larger than life | |||
(taj might qualify). And there are FOSS contributors to be found India, but as shres | |||
put it bluntly - "contributors are hard to find" - the whiteboard at foss.in is proof | |||
that there are enough." [http://t3.dotgnu.info/blog/conferences/no-foss-nitc.html Gopal V] | |||
"Do we need evangelists right now ? No, but we need mentors and they would only come | |||
out of the folks contributing. Some would make good mentors, some not so good, but we | |||
need them all the same. We don’t need rockstars - they tend to complicate things." | |||
