I am also not sure that there will be sufficient attendance at such short notice. We can move discussion on the organisation details off the list - though it will be a challenge to manage such a large event. In short, I will probably have to move the Mozilla event to an auditorium or the lawns. Will post final details after off-list discussion with the others involved.

OK, then maybe it is best if you try to work something out with Sanjay. Please keep us informed, and maybe there are others that can help out. � Sure, I shall/can soon create a page related to free training sessions for the local trainers, hardware assemblers, integrators and, or vendors on deployment (installation, administration, tips and tricks) and road-shows for the general public on the use and benefits of Linux/Unix and Free/Libre Open Source Software. Great. � How about charging a reasonable registration fee from the attendees to cover up the expenses or get these events sponsored by local associations? We, as in ILUG-Delhi, have not charged for attendance in the past, but do ask local associations to cover any costs incurred for travel, food, and lodging. Personally, I see no reason why we cannot charge attendees. One possible model might be to have a broad training session that is free of cost, with incidental expenses covered by a local association. Local associations, and attendees, can then discuss with the trainers on an individual basis regarding more intensive, focused sessions. Yes, we shall try our best to make these events as much free as we can. But we definitely need pay the bills as almost all Free/Libre Open Source Software projects do. Sanjay Gupta, Please comment. � In this specific case, Sanjay has already said that he is ready to do this on a commercial basis. You, and anyone else willing, can take this up further with him. I still invite others volunteers and, or freelancers; together we shall make it movement. -- Balwinder S bdheeman Dheeman (http://werc.homelinux.net/contact/) ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
