I support this with a caveat - the presenter should make the material
available through a permissive license (which might be the case most
of the time since they're allowing you to record/live stream it). In
_some_ cases, we might get people who're into the training business
themselves and they might not want to share the materials. We don't
want to discount this possibility.

On a related not, I have a proposal for the community - a small
contribution for the kernel meetup when we host it at the reserved-bit
premises. Think of it as a little help to allow Nisha and Siddhesh to
pay for the AC, wifi, tea/coffee during the 3 hours of great
conversations we have there.

Say, Rs. 100 if you're employed and Rs. 25 if you're a student? We
wouldn't actually police the contributions but use a honour system[1].

Would this fee be acceptable to folks?

Amit
