Dear professionals open source software is a kind of revolution for the benefit of the society perticularly in developing and underdeveloped country. These softwares are free of cost but institutions are organising the workshop on these softwares and charging very high cost which is very difficult to afford by individuals. So it must be avoided and the cost of such a workshop should be minimum. The current example is DELNET who is organising workshop on KOHA by charging 3000-3500, i think it is too much.Such workshop should not be organised for the financial benefits perticularly by the Govt. organisations.
