Whoa, full stop.. In our initial bid, we had a minimum entrance of EUR 15,-,
but after comments from the board we took that out and made it a EUR 0,-. Which
now resulted in these three levels:

student/hobbyist EUR 0,-
Normal EUR 100,-
Professional EUR 250,-

People can choose themselves, and we won't check if someone is a hobbyist
or not :) The registration site will explain that the money is for the
good of GUADEC and the Gnome foundation.

I was really under the impression that we all were conscious of the above
arrangement, and agreed with it.

Gr,
