It makes your mail clearer but remains weird from my point of view that is rather like "I want to support the conference by not creating extra expenses for hosting and feeding me." In other words it does not really fit what I intended when writing http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20121108.135104.894ffd95.en.html So finally in my specific case it turns out that I need to ask you what costs of accomodation and food I did created and I need to donate this towards DebConf. I wonder if it would not simplify things if there would be some other status of attendee that is not called "professional" but simply covers its very own costs. BTW, I remember a case were some other DD had a similar intend like me and assumed that professional is paying some fee but getting free accomodation + food and was a bit disappointed to learn that he has to pay this in addition. It makes a difference if you volunteer to pay 500 and learn later that rather need to pay 1000. IMHO we need to make this *very* clear to make sure we will not disappoint people who voluntarily support DebConf at their very own expense.
