Speakers should register just like other attendees. If your company can pay the fee then you should encourage them to. It's good for GNOME. > - Does Jonita, my girlfriend, have to pay for the 30 Euros if she is > coming?

So, in which > category is he : the professional category (225 Euros), or the computer > hobbyist one (30 Euros)? Again, he should ask the company to pay. If they won't pay, and he can't pay himself then he's a hobbyist. The fees are not meant to keep anyone away. Remember, we also offer travel and accommodation subsidies for some hackers. > I'm a bit astonished GUADEC is not free this year. Personally, I think > it won't help GNOME spread among new users.

I don't think 30 euros is much for 3 days of intensive talks. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
