I don't know the specific circumstances motivating this change, but for context - individuals sponsored by the travel committee have been sent a discount code which waives the registration fee at the checkout. > In previous years, the registration fee was structured as a donation > rather than a mandatory purchase.

I was just discussing this exact topic with Eike from KDE e.V. as the GNOME board has just been considering funding conditions/approval for LAS. It sounds like the European non-profit handling of fees versus donations is different (and more strict/complex) than my understanding of how this works for GNOME. I might be mistaken however. :) > Michael Cheers, Rob > > > _______________________________________________ > foundation-list mailing list > foundation-l...@gnome.org > > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list > > > _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
