Hi, I prepared this a while ago, when I was working on the budget, but I didn't send it to the list yet.
These are the basic ideas: * Accomodation/Food are paid per night * When accomodation is booked also food must be booked * Total cost of pro and corporate fee should be about the same as in previous years, if split. Types, cost structure and features of attendance fee: * Corporate - gets you a receipt - good feeling about supporting DebConf - fee: CHF 500 * Professional - gets you a receipt - good feeling about supporting DebConf - fee: CHF 180 * Basic (optional) - pays his own costs - no receipt - fee: CHF 50 * Sponsored (optional) - sponsored attendance, might have to pay food and accomodation, if not also sponsored - no receipt >From the last two option we should probably pick the preferred one and only offer this. And I think, as DebConf general attendance should be free, we could drop the CHF50 fee. Why should we offer a basic or partially sponsored option at all? * Attendees can decide to be partially sponsored (saves us money) * It's fairer to those who don't get sponsored and have to pay themselves. * As only the pro and corporate will get a receipt, there's still an incentive to use this option if you company pays Food should be fixed: CHF 25 day (lunch + dinner) Now to the more delicate issue of room pricing: I had the following idea: (including CHF10 / day for breakfast) - single room: CHF 75 / night - double room: CHF 45 / night - normal room: CHF 35 / day (average room price of CHF 24 / night + CHF 10 / night, this can be separated in more categories if wanted) This will result in the following calculation: Corporate (assuming single room) 500 + 7 * (75 + 25) = CHF 1200 (= EUR 1000, like in previous years) Professional (assuming, he books a double room) 180 + 7 * (45 + 25) = CHF 600 (= EUR 500, like in previous years) Basic/Sponsored (food/accomodation, assuming he books a standard room) CHF 420 "(+ CHF 50)" Yes, it'll be possible for corporate to take a cheaper room, but in previous years, the only reason people booked corporate was to get a better room, so I don't think this will happen.
