/** My observation/comments are specific to smaller and local activities. Case in point, the FOSS related conferences I have attended. Only handful of volunteers come forward to organize, execute, and manage the events. Invariably, I have seen the same few faces (of the dedicated individuals) working their a** off. **/
Its not only volunteering. However, the management of volunteers. If there is a pool of 10 to 20 volunteers, and if there is no one to manage it, then it will disappear.. Debian is one example of volunteer base.. but there is a core team which manages all.. similarly, wordpress, and other popular open source softwares are well managed by core team. If we could form a core team to define a clear objective manage the volunteers, we can bring about a change. Expecting everything to happen out of itself may not be practical..
