Hey!

As far as I feel, you should not charge anything for membership. A LUG is
very different from a Club or Society. What you can charge for are the
dvd/cds (which you may occasionally throw in for free too). If you have your
LUG T-Shirt then you may charge the junta for them. You can contact training
institutes like NIIT or Aptech for spponsorship. They easily give
substantial amount of money for supporting all of your GNU/LUG based events.

Cheers,
Debjit
