No, so to reach a minimal budget, you could assume that you are not involved in providing non-sponsored accommodation or food. Professional registration has previously only been intended to cover direct costs of accommodation and food; I don't have the numbers to hand for how many attendees have paid the corporate fee recently, but it's not a large enough number to make a noticeable difference to approximate budget calculations. Clearly we might be able to increase the number paying the corporate fee if we explained that DebConf needed the money, even if the corporate fee did *not* include food and accommodation, but only registration for the conference. Perhaps we could also increase the professional registration fee somewhat to raise more money[1], but it would be problematic to do that after the registration process had opened. Moray Footnote 1: It's not really sensible for the fee to cover only food and accommodation -- each additional attendee imposes several costs beyond that, but more significantly a normal conference's fee would include a proportion of central costs such as venue and equipment hire, materials, travel bursaries etc. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
