[Conference-europe] [Conference-Europe-Private] Registration fee

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Dear All,
I think that different rates depending on being "supporters" or "bussiness"
is not the way to go.
I believe that this is discriminatory and not fare, for example:

   -  a small enterprise with maybe only one or two people, should they pay
   higher fees?
   - if you are a "supporters" but work for a big company, then what you
   should pay?

I believe that a reasonable approach is to have different packages, so for
example:

   1. registration to conference
   2. registration to conference + silver package (special badge + T-shirt)
   3. registration to conference + gold package (special badge + T-shirt +
   boot)

In this way, you pay more to have more, not depending on your "status"
