</LISTADMIN_NOTIFICATION> whenever we are dealing with public money, we need to be extremely careful. LUG is not a registered body under Society Registration Act (as far as my knowledge goes). Managing fund, organising regular projects with its aid is difficult in such organisations. blame, fame and flame almost in all cases goes to individuals instead of the organization. we have to look for free entries in COMPASS as well as in JU seminar hall. we won't be selling anything anywhere ! COMPASS should be convinced about the objectives of us. sharmaji's point was perhaps based on the basic notion that visitors to COMPASS are important for spreading of Linux, both in number and in decision making. 'catch them young' should work 'in situ' as was rightly said by RMS in his discussion with the Govt. of WB. -hizibiz On Tue, 13 Sep 2005, Indranil Das Gupta wrote: > Hi, > > I'm starting a new thread based on Saugata's post referring to > collection of ~Rs.75,000 for COMPASS-2005 participation.
