There is a fair amount of really enthusiastic local LUGs and I get to
hear about them. But, at the same time I don't know India, you know
much better. My gut feeling is that a lot of the actual professional
developers in India see software development as a job and not as a
hobby. That's the kind of picture I've gotten, I don't know if it's
true. If you see it [software development] as a job and not as a hobby
the whole open source thing is not as natural anymore.
I second it.. The whole life style of an indian student is spoiled
within 4 walls of the class room.. In reality, there is no hobby for
much of indian students, except for cinema, cricket and drinks.. The
common attitude we find among our people is to be jolly, which means.
free from any responsibility..
Another reason is that students in college are not taught anything
practical... There is no direction, no vision, and no purpose..
I wish, LUGC could research more on this and propose solutions.
