I guess their motivations are as well to see some of the people that produce that software, and that is not only the speakers that produce it. > > ApacheCon is organized by the ASF in coorporation with a > commercial conference producer. It is up to them to decide about the pricing. I found it very unfair not even give a discount if you are a commiter, you should rethink that policy. For us it would be something that we get in return for all the hours that we spent making that to happend. So can we get a "Company Team discount" if three of us request as part of ASF? Or can get paid for two days and get the third for free? please, just make it easier for us to be a happy persons and develop better software for YOU. Cheers, cheche
