DAY 0 - EMERGENCE OF FUN & CHAOS :
After reaching the venue by evening, many of the local and neighbour state delegates were working on their volunteered responsibility and filled the emptiness wherever their service is needed. I on the other hand, hanged around with prasanna from FSHM, discussing about philosophy stuff, and sharing his own volunteered work of organizing the technical workshops in terms of dividing the volunteers to speakers, allocating rooms & their keys, by coordinating with the hall organization team - who literally has to bang their heads to get the information about the availabiility of halls.
In the mean time, we volunteers (yeah now i am in volunteer mode), gathered to organize by taking responsibilities, and sharing contacts of a experienced volunteer in a flat group fashion for more flexibility if not for efficiency. By the end of the meeting we had all other volunteers contact no.'s and handles that helped us organize ourselves.
By the end of the session some of us were addressing new volunteers about 4CCON, philosophy, practice, and so on stuff... Then we had wonderful moonlight dinner which we almost shared plates and felt a commune cooking experience.... :) I can still remember the taste of curry and rasam which i have packed in my PET bottle and drinking it often... like water :D
This process crossed mid-night, and till most of the work were chaotic and adhoc, without any proper procedure. I was startled to see that people emerge on their own taking the functionality that are floating around, and tried to complete as much as possible. I being as a speaker, fortunately relieved from workshop stuff - as i have prepared all the resources needed. That gave me window to help breathe the venue organization stuff. I learned hell looooooot of stuff practically about event organization, timing, resource management, as well as interesting group dynamics.
Now the second great challenge is, i have to handle the workshop session, with perfect combination of sleep deprivation and with no mental preparation of handling diverse peers who registered for my GIS from & for commons workshop. It is so fortunate to know that the total no. of registration was ≌ 0. I kind of felt much relieved, to handle probably only less no. of students - i hoped.
I can feel Entropy is in rise .... emerging from the group dynamics... awesome
