Forgot to mention, I am not really looking out for any sort of
monetary benefit out of these sessions/meetings (I won't be available
to conduct or attend paid workshops), but I am available to be part of
this as a PLUG group where I can freely share what little knowledge I
have and be part of the conversation (100 Rs contribution sounds fair
to me).
