So this doesn't look like the cheap conference that I originally thought
it might be. What's changed? What are the costs involved?

Hrm, I thought were were going to run the developer half of GUADEC at
the weekend [Saturday and Sunday], and then have the business user
sessions scattered between Monday-Wednesday.

Looks like we're being restricted from our original plans/thoughts. Hrm,
not so happy with this one...
