For budgeting purposes, wouldn't the following be sufficient?
[ ] Plan to attend DebCamp
[ ] Plan to attend DebConf
[ ] Will require sponsorship
This gives us an idea of percentages of attendees wanting to attend
DebCamp, and percentages needing sponsorship. That's about the best
we're going to get out of pre-reg, right?
Another (IMHO) good aspect of this is that it'd buy us a bit of time
to work with bursaries to identify the data they need, without
delaying the pre-reg opening. And then we can approach those who
ticked the last box with detailed questions when we implemented the UI.
I recommend to collect all data that we need for bursaries decisions and
venue accommodation occupancy because contacting people individually is
a huge amount of work that we should avoid where ever we can (reduce
orga work load).
We should reserve this orga capacity for discussing difficult
sponsorship issues and individual travel / visa support which we cannot
automate or solve by asking a few more questions for everybody.
We need to have rather final accommodation numbers in April (we set so
April 6th as our internal deadline in http://deb.li/DC16meet1) to avoid
cancellation cost at UCT. That is (considering the current project
delay) at least a month *before* registration closes (see
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/Timeline). So we need to collect
attendee counts and who wants to sleep where with as much accuracy as
possible during pre-reg. We're already beyond the "rough stats" point in
time.
