[FOSS4G-Oceania] limited single-day registration?

[Cameron Shorter]

We previously talked about allowing a presenter to attend the the time 
block around their presentation, including before and after breaks, for 
free. I think we should offer that option to her.

Otherwise, I'd be ok with a once off payment for the day.
