Indeed, and also as a group.

Come on! Membership fees? The difference between us and other amutas is
that we're Linux-il. I think the concept of charging money for being
in a Linux list is almost an oxymoron. I think we can raise money by
selling CDs, books/magazines, and a little donations.

And besides, charging a symbolic entrance fee wouldn't ensure people lose
money while others don't. There will always be those people who'll take
care of the shows, as well a on the financial side (at least most of it).
If you care and want to contribute, please do. If you just want to hang
around on the list and participate in discussions, that's fine too.
