Sometime on Feb 7, Amish Munshi assembled some asciibets to say: > I was also wondering if we should make the meetings a paid, we will > get more serious people and we can also pay the speakers who are
I don't think we should make it a pay per entry meeting. That in itself will dissuade people from coming - even if it is just Rs. 5. We can make it a pay for your own tea or something like that. Regarding paying speakers, IMO, the purpose of giving a talk is to increase community awareness and participation. Achieving this should be reward enough. Speakers should be paid only if the talk is for a commercial body like a workshop held for a company. In this case, the payment should be at minimum travel expenses.
