people off, I'm sure people would welcome your involvement. But as I'm sure

what wary of giving that kind of information out over the Internet in

like).
Given that this procedure isn't totally obvious, I'm inclined to mention it on
the europython.org site, for those yet t
le to answer correctly first time. For
those not paying via WorldPay, which may be everyone up to this point, they
are supposed to be getting an e-mail with payment details, specifically bank
transfer information. I don't know when this will b
get (or be sent) a list of attendees from the conference registration
system, and the answer was a negative one.
For what it's worth, I've updated europython.org with clarifications on this
matter because I found that my expectations were somewhat inconsist
explicit on the registration
form, but I've managed to make a booking in the last few minutes, confirming
that it can be done.
