Hi,
All speakers will be emailed in a week or two with details of how to register
Thanks for clearing that up.
It does however put me (and I assume a few other speakers) in a position of

Of course it's no longer obvious, out of context, that you and I are discussing
the ApacheCon NA costs and prices.
I don't ever remember sharing that information with anyone in the ASF - though

we naturally intend

Hi,
We plan to subsidize each talk by offering the speaker a $250 honorarium
Seem to recall (but could be wrong) that there can be issues with oversea
speakers and honorariums. If a speaker is paid then a business US visa may be

Hi,
Presumably you regard increasing the cost of the tickets for non-speakers as

I don't get it. July 31st Nick asked us if he should concentrate on either
paying a couple of hundred euros towards the ticked and getting accommodation

Subsequent responses all indicated a preference towards the
