Re: [guadec-list] Registration fees



This is the Registration fee schema I'm proposing after agreeing the
basic principles with the board yesterday. Let's discuss it until
finding an agreement in order to apply it to Devin's registation form.


* Registration for the Warm Up weekend only: free to everybody.

* Registration for the whole week:

	- Students & hobbyists: 30€
	- Professionals (see below): 150€
	- Staff & volunteers: free
	- Speakers: free
	- Press: free

Professionals will be listed in a Professional Participants table to be
included in the printed program and the website, where they will be able
to put their company name, contact details and one sentence description.
Companies bringing 3 or more participants will have a logo in this list.
The list will be sorted by companies, being at the top those bringing
more professionals.

We are not going to check if a professional registers as hobbyist to
save money: s/he will be simply treated as such, not appearing in the
professionals' list.


* Applicable discounts in order to promote group attendance:

	- GNOME Foundation members registering as students/hobbyists get a 100%
discount: free registration.

	- GNOME Foundation members registering as professionals get a 50%
discount: 75€.

	- Advisory board companies get 5 free registrations and pay 100€ for
each extra participant they bring.

	- Community partners bringing 5 people or more get 1 free registration
and pay 20€ for each extra participant they bring in a single group
reservation.


* Additional flexibility:

	- If these fees are too expensive for your budget you may request
sponsorship - http://beta.guadec.org/sponsorship

	- If you feel like contributing more cash to GUADEC and the GNOME
Foundation you are able to make an extra donation when registering, at
your choice. We appreciate your help.


Note that keeping these low registration fees is not simple. They are
sustainable when getting a good level of registration combined by
institutional collaboration and corporate sponsorhip. Please help us
getting more participants and say thank you to any co-organizer and
sponsor you find.
