[FOSS4G-Oceania] Fwd: student/volunteer pricing

[Philip Mallis]

That proposal sounds good, based on our discussions so far.

John and I are going to have a chat about volunteers more generally quite soon so it would be good to have this nailed down to frame our discussion.

Thanks,

Philip

So, here's a proposal (estimated impact on budget in parentheses):
- we source a volunteer workforce, require that they work full days, we keep their workload light enough that they have the chance to see parts of the conference on the days they're working
- to be clear, volunteers would not be expected to pay on the days they're working, but no access offered on days when they're not working
- we feed the volunteers on the days they're working (-$1500)
- remove 15 discounted volunteer tickets @ $200 each (-$3000)
- for post-secondary students who wish to register, add 10 discounted student tickets @ $250 each (+$2500)
- add 5 full price tickets @ $400 each (+$2000)
- committee members will be asked to participate in the execution of the conference, eg. hang out at our 'sponsor' table, help out with the rego desk, chat with sponsors, odd jobs as needed, so that it's not ALL on the volunteers
- conference code of conduct will apply to volunteers - nothing additional required there

For students who simply can't afford to pay for rego, then volunteering is an option. For students who can afford a bit, they pay $250 to attend, which is slightly below the total per-attendee cost of putting on the conference.

Sanity check? Does this make sense? Adjustments welcome.

Belated +1 on this proposal. Thank you for working to resolve this.
