Ok that sounds good.

> b) When a person decides to participate in this activity (by testing, coding, translating, ...), a button with a link will redirect him/her from the conference website to your wiki page where you can control/manage who is being registered, tasks to develop, etc... I don't know how you usually organize yourself from inside, and this are just some examples…

A while ago I made this wiki page:

https://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/15th_QGIS_Developer_Meeting_in_Girona_Spain_2015 <https://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/15th_QGIS_Developer_Meeting_in_Girona_Spain_2015>

Which we can use to register people for the hackfest. We should make it clear that user conference attendees should register in the conference website and note on the wiki page too I guess.

I suggest we make them to core developers / project contributors on a "first come, first served" basis and then make them available to others on a first come, first served basis.

Again, thank you so much for this!

Yeah that seems fine. I just need help to fill in the wiki page with transport arrangements, venue details etc.
