Yes, but there are several reasons that make the OpenOffice case special here, including:
- The OpenOffice Conference admission fee in 2005-2010 never exceeded 10 Euros, so community members did not expect this difference.
- This is the first ApacheCon for most people who used to be involved with the old OpenOffice project, so TAC is a relatively new concept for us.
- Apparently there are dedicated funds for travel assistance to OpenOffice committers.
