This is further to the discussion on the “Cost of workshop on open source software”, I would like to share my experiences in this regard. I have organized two national workshops on open source software. The fees of the workshop was Rs. 1000/- without accommodation and Rs.1500/- with AC Accommodation. I do agree with the views of Dr.G.K. Manjunath because the total cost of each workshop was around Rs. 2 Lakhs. We collected around Rs.65,000 from participation fees, around Rs.80,000 from sponsorship and rest expenses were beared by our institute. So, the cost on each candidate was around Rs.3000/-. This year again, BIMTECH is going to organize a National workshop on Koha in the month of May.
