I was reading this post from a friend Shirish agarwall from pune who is a member of debian community and a key participant in community events in pune and also an organiser for many debian events across the country.
Here are some points about community problems a. Factionalism b. Cabalism (or simply Cabals) As have been part of both parts do understand that both factions and cabals start with good intentions but sometimes later warp beyond recognition. Next he goes on to say c. No communication, Mis-communication d. Fragmented content with contradictory messages. The above two I have also seen time and again as a ‘feature’ of the Indian FOSS community at large where most communities in India don’t really communicate to other FOSS communities or world at large or are pretty bad at things. Read more at https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/indian-foss-communities-closed-source/ its quite interesting and is relevant to ILUGC also ! PS : As of now I am just posting this to ILUGC as I believe this community is one of the few strong ones left in India.
