In the beginning, most of our mapping parties were held in posh areas of central and south Delhi. Obviously, this leads to uneven coverage.

This year, we started going through a clockwise pattern around the city, alternating with locations in central Delhi -
January - GTB Nagar (central)
March - Dwārkā (west)
April - Chāndni Chowk (central)
May - Rohini East (northwest)
June - Gol Market (central)
July - Shāhdarā (northeast)

The problem is that many people just don't want to attend if it's not in their part of town. Even if it's central Delhi - we were hoping it would be the best of all worlds, but it really ended up being the worst of all worlds. And the constant alternation with central Delhi makes it a long time before we can host in the same zone again.

So we're thinking of something else.

Firstly, we'll only have central Delhi once per rotation. Here's the new rotation of zones we're thinking of -
1. Central Delhi
2. Northeast Delhi
3. East Delhi
4. Ghāziābād
5. Meerut
6. Noidā
7. Southeast Delhi (including Badarpur)
8. Southwest Delhi
9. Gurgāon
10. "outer" West Delhi (say west of Subhāsh Nagar, including Dwārkā)
11. "inner" West Delhi (say from Jhandewālān to Subhāsh Nagar)
12. Northwest Delhi

Even so, it's 12 months before we revisit a zone and meet the people exclusive to the zone. So here's the other big step - we're thinking of having TWO outdoor parties a month.

This way, each rotation takes 6 months to complete. As a bonus, if someone misses one party, they don't have to wait another month, but only two weeks 🙂

Of course, it's more work for us organizers. And since each party has a remote phase (held on one Sunday) and a mobile phase (held on the next Sunday), 2 parties a month means we'll have no free Sundays at all.

But I think it's worth it 🙂 Let's see how we can make it work.
