Hi,

just to make it clear to everybody:

1. In general there are *no* free tickets! We'll have only three 
exceptions:
  - we from LOC (due to the LOC list in the OSGeo WIKI)
  - keynoters
  - our student helpers (they work for us 50% of the time)
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?)
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
4. what are guides, supervisors, "other activists" ...?
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


So the rough numbers could be released, if somebody asks.
