Yes, it is a matter of wording. We could spam users not registered to
the site if we would be so stupid to do that, since we are requesting
email as a main contact data anyway (i.e. Fernando could spam easily all
the Stuttgart attendees, so we aren't doing anything technically new here).

I was thinking that there are still so many things that need to be
discussed about the registration apart from the technical and financial
process i.e. profiles & pricing. I don't see ourselves getting to a
stable registration process to be officially announced before mid
January - if lucky. And, as someone has said, it is not that relevant to
open the registration process before having a more defined schedule, at
least.

Threfore it doesn't make any sense to make this registration process
stop the release of the new site - as it is doing now since it's
considered like a critical bug. The only one stopping
http://guadectest.ourproject.org/ to move to the GNOME's servers, after
a couple of days of Drupal tuning.

Proposed steps to follow in order to release the new guadec.org site:

- Make a copy of the current test site and give it to the infrastructure
team to install it in the GNOME server, following Ross Golder's
instructions.

- Once the site is installed somewhere under gnome.org, in a non
official location i.e. not at guadec.org, complete the main set of info
pages to make the site releasable. The sweet candy of it will be the
logo and web theme contests. All this can be done through the web
interface by users like you and me.

- Once the site is ready at a content level too and main bugs are fixed,
release it officially becoming the new guadec.org site.

- In the meantime, we will keep working on the registration process
discussing in this list and prototyping/testing at
http://guadectest.ourproject.org/ . Once it works and is stable we move
it to the production site. This will be the same procedure with any
relevant new functionality added to the site while GNOME doesn't offer a
reasonably agile way to test & crash things somewhere in the official
servers.
