Paid on the spot ? +AD4 This year it was the first time foss.in had online registration and online payment. They used the service of doattend +AFs-1+AF0. Until last year registration and payment used to be done on spot. +AD4 You two know what's the best way work for local people. +AD4 +AD4 Just one concern if participants paid on the spot, it might be a +AD4 bottle neck for the entrance. Will they paid by cash or credit card ? We can ask delegates to register online, bring the prinout of registration ticket (in case we generate one on our website) and pay at the spot. Payment will be by cash only. It will be difficult and time consuming to maintain payment by credit card. We will take help of college students at the venue. They should be able to handle registration process. We can open registration desk an hour before the actual conference starts so we can avoid big crowd. +AD4 Everyone need to pay? How about speaker and sponsors? How to +AD4 distinguish the normal participants which need to pay and the students +AD4 who don't need to pay? Different badge them? +AD4 We will follow same process as other gnome events. Speakers and people who are sponsored by gnome won't have to pay any registration fee. We will give some limited number of free entry like 50 or 100 to college students of Dayananda Institute. Other students will have to show their ID card to avail the benefit during registration. In case they fail to show the ID, they will be charged as other delegates. We can have four different badges - speaker, student, volunteer and delegate. +AD4 It is our first time to charge the entrance fee, so I have lots of +AD4 questions and need to learn. +AD4 Your queries are welcome. We will try to clarify as much as we can. +AFs-1+AF0 http://doattend.com/ Thanks, Akhil +AD4 +AD4 2011/1/17 Pockey Lam +ADw-pockeylam+AEA-gnome.org+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 On 01/17/2011 05:39 PM, Emily Chen wrote: +AD4 +AD4 I agree with Lakhil / Bharath since it is quite common in +AD4 +AD4 Indian. The fee sounds very reasonable. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 For GUADEC, we also need to pay for the conference fee, I +AD4 +AD4 paid 200 Euro this year to attend GUADEC. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 One thing we need to think, is the online payment system. We +AD4 +AD4 can have two ways: Online payment and on site payment. +AD4 Great, I also agreed with the proposal as long as the fee is +AD4 affordable and reasonable. Actually we discussed about the +AD4 payment during last meeting, since it's not a big amount, and +AD4 the local team suggested not to charge those students from the +AD4 university providing the conference venue. They preferred to +AD4 have volunteers helped to take the fee from the participants +AD4 on the spot :-) +AD4 +AD4 - Pockey +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 We can discuss this in tomorrow's meeting. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 -Emily +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 2011/1/17 Pockey Lam +ADw-pockeylam+AEA-gnome.org+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Dear all, +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Lakhil / Bharath suggested to have a minimal +AD4 +AD4 conference fee (Students +ACQ-4-+ACQ-5. delegates +ACQ-10 , +AD4 +AD4 corporate delegates +ACQ-50 something on these lines). +AD4 +AD4 The purpose is not to make money, when there is +AD4 +AD4 registration fee people take it a bit more +AD4 +AD4 seriously. The local team said it's common in +AD4 +AD4 India , even foss.in used to have fee. While +AD4 +AD4 sponsors / speakers and students from the conference +AD4 +AD4 venue will be free. So in order to charge, logistics +AD4 +AD4 are needed to think about. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 If there is any objection from the GNOME committee +AD4 +AD4 about this minimal conference fee, please let us +AD4 +AD4 know by tomorrow before the meeting.
