Re: Conference registration option

Dear all,

+1 to sell tshirts!

Since we have raised $10k so far, I have modified the budget to minimize 
the cost of the event to $20K by:

1) not printing conference bag and flyers (we saved ~$1000)
2) 1 day outing / tour fee to be paid by our speakers / volunteers 
instead (I think we don't mind to pay by ourselves ;-) (we saved: $1500)
3) we only give away tshirts to speakers / volunteers, and the ~50 
tshirts will be sent by China (to save t-shirts production cost in 
India) (we saved: $1400 for 350 tshirts)
4) based on the hackfest participants / speaker lists , I have estimated 
we will most likely sponsor 10 GNOME contributors to the event (for 
travel and accommodation) - i.e. we cannot accept more speakers from 
outside of India without additional fund / budget. (i.e. we budgeted 
$17K in total to sponsor ~10 hackers. For hotel rooms, 2 persons / room)

Detail budget can be accessed either in the wiki page [1] or the shared 
document (google doc) [2], if you cannot access, please let me know.
I still believe we can raise more than $20k :) if we have more fund, 
let's prioritize our additional fund according 1 to 4 from the above 
items. Let's work harder on it together this month to raise at least 
20k$ to cover our cost :-)
