I'm a little reluctant, as a long-time organizer of this conference, to even answer this question. Asking the speakers' opinion on financial arrangements, at this late date, seems like a bikeshed waiting to happen. I will say, however, that I have never, in all my years of speaking, had to pay admission to a conference at which I was speaking. -- Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com :: @rbowen rbo...@apache.org
