Hi all,<br>
<br>
Yesterday en today I had contact with 2 potential presenters from<br>
Holland.<br>
<br>
What came to my mind was that I don't know whether presenters,<br>
workshop trainers/guides/supervisor and other activists pay the full<br>
entrance price or have a somehow reduced entrance fee.<br>
<br>
If they pay the full price, a submission is in fact also a sort of<br>
blanc contract to join foss4g, but without knowing the entrance fee<br>
nor the program (yet)<br>
<br>
Do I miss something here?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Gert-Jan<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
just to make it clear to everybody:<br>
<br>
1. In general there are *no* free tickets! We'll have only three exceptions:<br>
- we from LOC (due to the LOC list in the OSGeo WIKI)<br>
- keynoters<br>
- our student helpers (they work for us 50% of the time)<br>
2. All presenters have to pay full entrance, we can't make it other way (regard, we'll have around 150-200 presenters, how could this work?)<br>
3. We agreed in having a minor reduction for workshop trainers, but that won't be really much, maybe 25% - in Korea and Nottingham there was no reduced fee at all<br>
4. what are guides, supervisors, "other activists" ...?<br>
5. The fees will be between 550-600€ for early bird and 700-750€ for regular - we didn't announce them yet: For now we plan with the higher fees, but want to reduce them as we get more sponsors coming in<br>
<br>
<br>
So the rough numbers could be released, if somebody asks.<br>
<br>
Till<br>
<br>
