Categories of MAD Projects
MAD Club Projects can broadly be classified into two types:
Type A Projects (Group Projects or GP)
These are projects wherein MAD members and other interested junta may ideally need to work together for optimal results. Examples are PHP and TIBD.
These projects will usually have a "Project Coordinator" who:
- Would typically have initiated this project
- Is willing to coordinate all project related activities and provide direction for optimal success of the project
- Would be the single-point contact for volunteering, team building, assigning of roles
- Would be the single-point clarification center for all FAQs
- Would be the single-point "Idea Center" for accepting feedback and suggestions and modifying the project (both in concept and in execution) accordingly
Depending on the number of volunteers, there may be a Team of Project Coordinators specific to institution (school / college / organization) or geography (locality / city / country).
Type B Projects (Individual Projects or IP)These are projects wherein MAD members and other interested junta may work together, but it is not necessary for optimal results. Some examples will be put up soon.
These projects will usually have a "Project Initiator" who:
- Would typically have initiated this project
- Is willing to help and advise interested participants
- Would be the single-point clarification center for all FAQs
- Would be the single-point "Idea Center" for accepting feedback and suggestions and modifying the project (both in concept and in execution) accordingly
How Can I Participate?
There are expected to be a fairly large number of MAD Club Projects hosted on this site over time. It goes without saying that no one is expected to participate in all the projects; in fact, this may not even be humanly possible.
It would be more than adequate if you could participate wholeheartedly in even one MAD Club Project.
Do also circulate such MAD ideas among your friends and acquaintances, so they too can choose to be a part of the MAD movement if they wish.
