Formal Member Registration

[Atul Chitnis <achitnis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All:

ILUG-Bangalore is growing rapidly. With 300++ members and more joing
daily, and with all the activities here (probably making it the largest
and most active ILUG in India), I have proposed that we should now start
looking at a formal membership process.

ILUG Bangalore will be involved in several big events in the coming
months, so it is important that we get this done and get this done right
ASAP.

Since I would like to see uniformity across the country, I thought I'd
kick off a discussion here to see what other people have to say about it.

What should this formal membership process entail? Some form of membership
fee, a membership card, etc? There have been proposals of differential
membership fees (student/non-student) but since I am *not* talking about a
100K joining fee, I don't think that is feasible or even desirable.

What says the group?
