[Debconf-announce] DebConf8 reconfirmation deadline
Hi!
We are now starting the reconfirmation period for DebConf8. Which ends on
Sunday, June 15th. If you don't reconfirm your attendance before that
deadline, you won't be counted for food, lodging, t-shirts, proceedings, etc.
Also, you won't be eligible for food or lodging sponsorship.
If you are going to attend as Professional or Corporate, we ask you to please
make the corresponding payment during this period too. See below.
Instructions
============
In order to reconfirm, you need to login into your pentabarf account [1], and
tick the "Reconfirm Attendance" box. You will also need to state the dates
that you will be present at the conference.

Please, *PLEASE*, do not reconfirm your attendance unless you know for sure
that you are coming to DebConf8. If you reconfirm but then don't come, this
will be counted against you for the next DebConf's sponsorship decisions.
If you are waiting to know if you'll be granted travel sponsorship or not, then
please wait until you know for sure that you are coming before reconfirming.
If the deadline comes and you still don't know because of this, please send us
a mail and let us know.
Room preferences
================
We have added a new box, called "Room preference" which will allow you to
enter whom you would like to share a room with. Even if you don't have any
particular preferences, please state if you smoke/don't smoke, snore/don't
snore, etc. Rooms will be of 2, 3 or 4 people, if you want to be near some
other friends, we can try to make it happen. Please give us as much
information as possible.
Attendance fee
==============
If you are attending as a Professional or Corporate attendee, you have
requested a single room or are attending DebCamp without a specific workplan,
we ask you to please pay your attendance fee before June 15th. To do that, go
to [2], and fill in the amounts. This is Click&Pledge by SPI, and will allow
you to pay by credit card.

The Corporate attendance fee is USD 1000 per week, The Professional attendance
fee is USD 300 per week, but is discounted to USD 250 per week for early
registrants (before May 31st), however, to help DebConf organization a bit
more, you might choose to pay the full fee even if you registered early.
For a single room, another USD 250 per week are required for Professional or
Independent attendees, while there is no extra charge for Corporate attendees.
If you are coming to DebCamp as an Independent without a specific work plan,
then we ask you to please pay for your food and lodging by paying USD 250 for
that week.
