Agree - while we constantly pitch that organizing GUADEC can be an amazingly
rewarding experience, the stress that we see the team going through (and people
putting them through) isn't an encouragement. It's pretty much a full time job
for a few months.

I'd *love* to get to the stage where we could outsource the conference, but the
last time we did that and outsourced an expo day, it was a bit of a disaster.
Financially we're probably not in the position to do this either if people are
expecting the conference to be free.
