A Disclaimer: I am not associated with Freedom Labs-- beyond having personally interacted with Aveek and Narendra-- and assuming positive rather than bad intentions.
@Pratul, @Amar, @Nishant, @Nandeep: Instead of criticizing Freedom Labs-- you should first understand their background and motives. They are trying to do what for a lot of school administrators is a big headache-- and if for that they want enough to reimburse their cost of conveyance and media-- then it is ok. Logically they could have also put it as "in exchange for tea, biscuits and autorickshaw fare"-- but frankly-- I think they did much better to say "bare minimum cost"-- so that it can be discussed upfront-- rather than a school-principal saying "yes, yes, come on tuesday"-- and after that they saying "but sir... who to contact to re-imburse autorickshaw fare" @Pratul: Would you leave your work-- and show up on a tuesday morning at 11:30.. to spend five hours installing linux and doing mundane chores :? @Amar: Let us see you walk away from your work on a tuesday or wednesday-- when you have made committments to your project lead-- and sit and do mundane chores... which most people will find ultra-boring ? would your project lead be ok, watching the deadlines slide ? --- Frankly... if beyond a hobby you guys are willing to leave your full-time work committments-- and do this work in a service oriented way... as per the demands and time schedule of the person you are serving--- then continue your rants. If you dont... then it is better that they say "at minimum cost"-- rather than say "free, except for two cups tea and conveyance reimbursement"; because no matter how ugly it sounds... the former implies a professional committment... while the latter implies charity, but also whimsicalness and subject to the other guy's availability and convenience.
