Re: Formal Member Registration

["Mukund Deshmukh" <betacomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Banglore is lucky to have 300 users. In other cities like Nagpur we could
not make even 10 members inspite of offering free samosa and cool drinks in
monthly meeting.
What I would suggest here is that we should have all India level member
registration under the banner of linux-India. The fee can be Rs 100-500 ,
the funds should be eventually utilized for the linux promotion and member
management like card, meetings at different places etc.
