I am not sure it is the right approach to expect attendees to pay the
full price of the per capita conference cost instead of relying on
sponsors and donors to cover the majority of the costs.
It may also not be the right approach to expect attendees to have the
sort of services they have (accommodation, food etc.) for free. Looking
close to us, FOSDEM seems to work rather well*, they have no
registration fee at all but what expenses do they have?** Is their
"population" so different from ours?
