And the show must go on
Agile Goa 07: This will be the first Agile India conference that I won’t be able to attend.
Initially I was very concerned about the fact that I won’t be there. But thinking through it, I’m not really concerned. I have a really strong team of people who will be running this event and I’m sure they would do a great job. Dr. Jyoti Pawar from Goa University is the main organizer and leaving thing on her shoulders seems fine to me. Also we have a great set of speakers who can setup and do the needful.
If this works, this could be something that I might explore more in the future. Right now I feel like I’m a big bottleneck in organizing Agile India events. For future events, I might try and find a strong person on the ground who could run the show, I can help them in coming up with the program and finding the speakers. Once the program is finalized and logistics are worked out, I can let the person on ground run the show. Also through ASCI website we can create a registration page if required. For smaller events, I think providing the email address of the person on ground, makes more sense for registrations.
This just reminds me of one song: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from the album: A Faire To Remember
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean – what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…
