It does a lot Gavin thank you for clarification.
By the way, I've had an email yesterday from People SA saying everything
was ok and they just needed a little time to treat the +200 early bird
registers.

Guillaume

Some clarification of the process is in order, please bear with us...
1) Register on the conference website. i.e. choose a conference package. Then hang back for a bit.
2) The conference organisers, PeopleSA, are notified and they send you a form.
3) You fill in the form and send it back. It specifies your choices for
accommodation, gala dinner, etc. that could not be captured on the conference
website.
4) PeopleSA then send you an invoice for registration, accommodation (if you
choose from their offerings), gala dinner, etc. with a reference code.
5) You then proceed to pay. If by credit card, then here, where you will be asked for the reference code on your invoice: http://www.psaevents.co.za/Events/Foss4g/registration.aspx.
Early birds: You are being asked to send your forms back urgently so you can get an invoice in short order. The hurry now is to secure accommodation as part of the conference block booking. The hold on that is released this week. There is nothing we can do about that. Cape Town is really bustling that time of year and hotels won't keep blocks on hold any longer. There is every likelihood that rooms at those hotels will still be available after the hold is lifted and they WILL be at the conference rate. So, try to fill in your form and pay this week as requested. But if you don't manage, you'll most likely still get your hotel and if you pay within a month of invoice, you'll STILL GET YOUR EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION RATE.
Hope that helps

Hi Andrea,
I had the same thing :-) Had to fill out the form while I also
registered online. I guess the form is the formal sealing of the deal
although I was also confused a bit. You still need to register for
other workshops you want to attend and for the gala dinner.
Ciao,
Jeroen

Hi, that will sound strange, but indeed I have some problems in
registering at Foss4g.
I did my registration process with a workshop presenter code, which
should mean I have full discount (do both workshop predenters have
full discount?).
Well, the registration ended up in... nothing. No "great, you
subscribed" or similar. Now, after some time, this email comes (ok,
the header tells me they had some problems) in which I am asked to
send a fax and do my payment by means of today to get the early bird.
Since one of the presenters probably will have to pay, I tried to
understand from the website, tried to contact organisers and
reviewers, but got no answer.
Since no one else is bothering, I assume I'm the only one with this
problem.
So could someone with clear ideas in mind give me some feedback
please?
Thanks,
Andrea
