Hi all
We are getting closer to properly announcing GUADEC 2017 and opening up
registration.
I have some questions about how registration should work this year
that I don't have a strong opinion on.
* Do we want to do 'pay as you feel' for reg fees again?
* Do the student (£15/€15), hobbyist (£40/€40) and professional
(£150/€150) suggested rates make sense still?
* Will we offer a free T-shirt for donations over £100/€100?
* Will we give a 50% refund for cancellations on fees before a
certain date, and what date?
I'm particularly interested in feedback from previous organisers on how these
things worked in previous years.
I do wonder if offering only a 50% registration fee refund on cancellation will
encourage people to register late. It seems better to offer a
100%-minus-PayPal-fees refund unless there's some problem with that. We
want people to register early so we can fill up the prebooked accommodation at
the University quickly.
We plan to use the regcfp system again and I made some changes to that
code so that we can do accommodation bookings for the rooms at the
University along with registration.
I set up a test instance of the new code here:
https://test-guadec2017-regcfp.herokuapp.com/
I would appreciate if folk could try and break this! You should be
able log in to
this regcfp instance using any random string of characters. The PayPal code is
connected to a sandbox account, so you can make fake payments using the
following credentials:
email: test-buyer-2...@gnome.org
password: guadec2017
All feedback on the functionality is welcome. The style is just a placeholder
at the moment.
Thanks
Sam
