Dear Diego,

I hope you realize that if everybody ask for $100, it will cost the 
GNOME Foundation $100 plus $20 to $40 (transfer fee) per party which 
amounts to $12K to $14K . That's more than double of our current cost.

Now I am not deciding on behalf of the GNOME Foundation, we are a 
community, we should do what's best to save cost.

For sure, in some countries, we may go for local production if there is 
a financial advantage (provided that there is a volunteer to take care 
of the production) e.g. in India , it makes sense because we have 20 
parties there.
