Nor i am talking about having a branded seminar like barcamps... I am talking about taking a very small money like 20-30 which can be utilized do tea/snakes/poster etc. I am also want to renew the domain of lug-iitd.org which was sponsored by Alok last time.

But, I want that I should collect small money as donation for domain renewal for 2 year (appz 1000), because this will give a shared ownership where direct contribution in terms of money will lead to more contribution.

I take facebook as a tool. So I have not listed SOS model under restriction. I wrote only 4 {DRM, non-standards, sw patents, non-foss} because atleast these are acceptable to put under restriction. -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
