I believe the effective percentage charge was in the ballpark of 30% of profit.  For the upcoming North American event, SharedGeo and OSGeo agreed to a highly flexible contract which allows for tailoring of services as determined by the Local Organizing Committee.  Consequently, the payment concept is cost plus 3%.  Both approaches have pluses and minuses.  I think the GITA model probably makes sense for the international event, whereas the flexible approach is probably a better model for regional events.
