[OSGeo-Discuss] registration at foss4g
Hi, that will sound strange, but indeed I have some problems in registering at Foss4g. I did my registration process with a workshop presenter code, which should mean I have full discount (do both workshop predenters have full discount?). Well, the registration ended up in... nothing. No "great, you subscribed" or similar. Now, after some time, this email comes (ok, the header tells me they had some problems) in which I am asked to send a fax and do my payment by means of today to get the early bird. Since one of the presenters probably will have to pay, I tried to understand from the website, tried to contact organisers and reviewers, but got no answer. Since no one else is bothering, I assume I'm the only one with this problem. So could someone with clear ideas in mind give me some feedback please?

I would suggest that a full outline of the process be added to the registration page, or as a confirmation of the web registration in a follow-up screen and email covering what to expect for the following steps. Obviously the 240 Early Bird registrants are highly motivated people that will follow-up on making sure their registration goes through. However, I would be concerned about future registrations that are equally confused and less motivated to wade through the 5 step process, potentially losing interested attendees. Looking forward to the great conference!

Hi Andrea, I had the same thing :-) Had to fill out the form while I also registered online. I guess the form is the formal sealing of the deal although I was also confused a bit. You still need to register for other workshops you want to attend and for the gala dinner.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] registration at foss4g
As the Hitchhikers' Guide states, Don't Panic! Some clarification of the process is in order, please bear with us... 1) Register on the conference website. i.e. choose a conference package. Then hang back for a bit. 2) The conference organisers, PeopleSA, are notified and they send you a form. 3) You fill in the form and send it back. It specifies your choices for accommodation, gala dinner, etc. that could not be captured on the conference website. 4) PeopleSA then send you an invoice for registration, accommodation (if you choose from their offerings), gala dinner, etc. with a reference code. 5) You then proceed to pay. If by credit card, then here, where you will be asked for the reference code on your invoice: http://www.psaevents.co.za/Events/Foss4g/registration.aspx. Early birds: You are being asked to send your forms back urgently so you can get an invoice in short order. The hurry now is to secure accommodation as part of the conference block booking. The hold on that is released this week. There is nothing we can do about that. Cape Town is really bustling that time of year and hotels won't keep blocks on hold any longer. There is every likelihood that rooms at those hotels will still be available after the hold is lifted and they WILL be at the conference rate. So, try to fill in your form and pay this week as requested. But if you don't manage, you'll most likely still get your hotel and if you pay within a month of invoice, you'll STILL GET YOUR EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION RATE.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] registration at foss4g
That's music to my ears... Just a note about accommodation. If finding cheaper accommodation means deciding to come to the conference, have a look at our 'do-it-yourself' wiki page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_DIY. Also see the link to the Room share page if you want to cut costs by sharing a room. While I have your attention, if you haven't seen what's on offer yet click on 'Presentations' or try the 'Browse' options in the right panel of www.foss4g2008.org to see the abstracts. We'll be putting the workshops and technical visits 'on offer' soon so make sure you register for the 'conference + workshops' package to be first in line.
