If you don't ask for sponsored food, but still ask for a meals, you can still eat with the group, and you'll be charged. > - does the $650 rego cost cover the food/accom costs for the week > for that individual, or is that still subsidised?

It's designed to cover the entire costs for one attendee for the week. > - have you considered offering a rego fee level around $100~$200, > for students and people from poorer countries?

Instead, there are the categories where certain things aren't sponsored, and thus you can pay for them yourself. > - what proportion of attendees are at the various levels (travel > support, food subsidy, accom subsidy; debcamp; free rego, $650 rego, > $1300 rego)?
