Our 2010 Proposal estimated a $575 early registration fee. We (the Denver LoC) didn't bother getting too detailed about the fees beyond this point. We based our estimates on 1025 total attendees and 950 paid attendees. The registration fee did include workshops and was based on a very conservative sponsorship estimate. We could easily break out a separate workshop fee and play with the registration fee based on a graduate fee.<div>
<br></div><div>As for the dates, as Helena stated there is never a perfect time. Early December may also create a problem because AGU is relatively early. Autodesk University is typically the week after the US Thanksgiving. That means there is week between AU and AGU. Geoff Zeiss may be able to clarify as well as let us know how much overlap there would be between AU and FOSS4G. It would be challenging to have FOSS4G later in December, after AGU. But I'd rather not discuss dates further until we have a clear indication that FOSS4G 2011 will be in Denver.</div>

I too agree with Frank and Paul and suggest to issue a motion to proceed with Denver.<br>

Just a note - registration at $700 level mentioned by Paul is really high compared to some other<br>
geo-related conferences.<br>
Although I don't remember the fee from the last year's Denver I would like to ask whether it will be possible to offer some discounts for students. <br>

+1 for student discount.<br>
<br>
I suggest discounted rates for less well endowed countries too.<br>
