Paul, you had the budget available for one year. it's always the same.<br>it's the same budget you had in front in Sydney and agreed.<br><br>We want this event FOSS4G popular. <br>I don't see the risk to have only 400 people here. do you?<br>
the local foss gis event in Spain goes close to 400. the potential attendance in europe is huge, let's try to focus on good and wide promotion.<br><br>lorenzo<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 12:52 AM, Paul Ramsey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pramsey@cleverelephant.ca">pramsey@cleverelephant.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

we want go with ... just on strict comparison terms:<br>
<br>
2007 Early Full Conference + Workshops = $575CAD = 366EUR<br>
2010 Proposed Early Full Conference + Workshops = 350 EUR<br>
<br>
2007 Late Full Conference + Workshops = $820CAD = 522EUR<br>
2008 Late Full Conference + Workshops = 5900ZAR = 531EUR<br>
2009 Late Full Conference = $935AUD = 577EUR<br>
2009 Late Workshops = $375AUD = 231EUR<br>
2010 Proposed Late Full Conference + Workshops = 415EUR<br>
2010 Proposed Late Workshops = 190EUR<br>
<br>
Particularly in the late phase, the proposed prices are leaving a lot<br>
on the table, around 25% under previous events. 2009 made a profit in<br>
the end in part on a rush of late registration that paid a steep<br>
premium for being late.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to to see a Conference-Only price in the list and have<br>
the Full Conference = Workshops + Conference-Only.<br>
