Suggestion for the *do*- start with an informal session in a centrally located office (volunteered by an enthusiast) or a public place. Given that the group doesn’t have a home or funds, this may be a big win in itself. Count me in for any volunteering.
Best,

Dear Pune Java,
I have lately had several discussions with Java enthusiasts in Pune about
how the Java community in the city is scattered and inactive and how it
could be revived.
The Pune JUG has been around for a very long time and various individuals
have contributed to driving the JUG activities in the past. However the
current state of affairs is pretty bad. Despite 1000s of passionate Java
users in Pune, not even one mail appears on the Pune Java mailing lists
every week. I do not see that as a waning of interest in Java but just that
considering the inaction on PJUG, developers are using other forums.
I am sure most members on this group want a vibrant Java community in
Pune. So thought why not put up a PJUG revival proposal up for voting on the
entire group.
I have dropped this mail to all the 4 Pune Java groups I am aware of. To the
best of my knowledge, none of the groups are active.
Here's my proposal -
Let's elect an official Pune Java managing committee for 2009-2010. I am not
suggesting that we create any complicated legal entities, but just a team
that will be primarily responsible for Pune Java activities.
Designations are important as they give credit for the voluntary work these
guys would put in. The designations could be -
1. President
2. Vice-president
3. Secretary
4. Student Representative
As a 1000 members would have as many or more ideas on what the JUG
activities should be, let's not get into that at this time. It would really
be up to the elected team to decide on activities in consultation with the
group.
Vote on the proposal by just replying with the Apache
voting<http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html>convention

- -0.5 : 'I don't like this idea, but I can't find any rational
justification for my feelings.'
- ++1 : 'Wow! I like this! Let's *do* it!'
- -0.9 : 'I *really* don't like this, but I'm not going to stand in the
way if everyone else wants to go ahead with it.'
- +0.9 : 'This is a cool idea and i like it, but I don't have time/the
skills necessary to help out.'
Thanks,
Harshad
