I have confirmed that GNOME Hackfest attendees may attend the conference 
at the "student" rate of "€54 (including 8% tax)" (see 
http://aegis-conference.eu/pages/register.html). Still working out the 
precise mechanism by which folks will indicate this (e.g. something like 
"GNOME" in the Student ID Number field; or a "blessed" list conveyed to 
them by me/Joanie/API).

So for folks who are wanting to attend the conference as well as the 
hackfest, plan on spending €54 to do so. Note: this applies even if you 
are giving a paper. Note that CSUN, among other conferences, does 
require payment for folks giving papers (though often at a somewhat 
reduced rate).
