Even after prices are published there is plenty of time to decide speaker discounts. The point of The Open Bastion's business is to forge new ways of working profitably with open source communities to our common benefit. So I try to regards us as partners with our clients rather than just as a supplier, and even (to some extent) expect to become a part of the communities we serve. So it wouldn't be very productive to issue arbitrary fiats. You might find I have a marked preference for solutions that don't exceed the current planned costs for speaker support ... regards Steve -- Steve Holden st...@holdenweb.com, Holden Web, LLC http://holdenweb.com/ Python classes (and much more) through the web http://oreillyschool.com/ Conferences and technical event management at http://theopenbastion.com/ Next: DjangoCon US Sep 6-8, Washington DC http://djangocon.us/
