Discounts are a challenge to work with, every group thinks they
deserve one:<br>
* Students,<br>
* Developing nations,<br>
* Speakers,<br>
* Media,<br>
* Membership organizations (in return for marketing to their
members)<br>
<br>
And general members want their fees kept to a minimum.<br>
<br>
I'm more inclined to keep the budget simple, minimise discounts.
Note also that foss4g is an international conference, with half
attendees paying more for travel than for entrance fees, so
student discounts is only likely to impact student attendance from
the local region.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I just had again a look at both proposals, and I might miss some
information about discount for students in the Portland proposal
(please, correct me, if I'm wrong).
I hope, we all agree, that students are important part of FOSS4G
conference for various reasons and it is in general good, to have them here.
Could you both bidders summarize in short, what are the benefits for
students, so we would attract them to come to the conference?
Thanks a lot
Jachym
