Re: Free registration announcement - 2nd draft

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

Hi!

How many people gave Rs 2000 so far? Maybe we could simplify the numbers 
of option. Also the option with T-shirt should be made cheaper since we 
offer food (to make it compelling)? I was thinking of something around 
$15 since we'll be selling them at $20 during the conference days.



Revised version below:

--------------
GNOME.Asia Summit going Free!

Due to the many sponsors who have shown interest in supporting 
GNOME.Asia Summit 2011 we have the pleasure to announce that we are 
waiving the registration fees meant to cover part of the food and 
conference costs. For the people who have already registered we will be 
refunding their tickets at the registration booth on arrival against 
your Doattend pass, and for the others just come and enjoy the fun for free!

We hope this decision will make the event more accessible to students 
who usually are on a short budget, and encourage more curious visitors 
to just "drop by" to see what GNOME 3.0 is all about.

We have kept the special offer to get a GNOME 3 t-shirt for those 
interested as well as the corporate delegate one for people willing to 
contribute financially to the GNOME Project.

As a side note the students training session is on a first registered 
first serve basis as we have limited capacity. Should we be able to 
increase that capacity we'll let you know on the website.
=================

Is that better now?

Thanks.

Fred
