10 bucks a day is 70 bucks a week, and that's about *3640* bucks per
year. Now, is there a reason why TeamOS/2 should pay IBM that amount to
IBM annualy?

No, I am expected to volunteer my time for activities *I* choose.  If
someone who won't go to an event for reason of losing 1500 in wages is
making a suggestion that would cost each TeamOS/2 member 3640 bucks per
year in hard cash plus lost wages of 4 hours a day, then I call that
hypocracy at best.
