One substantive point and a couple of minor things:
and accommodation sponsorship to everyone who registers before April
15th. We are now also offering two additional options, namely
"Professional" and "Corporate". The "Professional" category, USD 250.00,
Do we know for sure that 250 USD will be enough to pay for a double room
for a week for someone? I'd expect it might be more expensive than that
in Spain.
That's a good point. I'd like to have some idea of the cost, so we can
update pentabarf to present the correct numbers when people start
checking boxes. I'd hate to raise the rates after someone volunteers to
pay their own way.
A random spot check of a few hotels in the area suggests $250 isn't
enough - the hotels I've checked appear to be ~40€/night for a single
room (~65€/night for a double), which would work out to something like
~$350 for the week for a single room (~$325/week per person for a double).
On the other hand, if we are putting up 'Professional' attendees in the
regular lodgings and just asking them to pay instead of being sponsored,
it works out, since money going out isn't an issue.
Does anyone with a real idea of the situation want to comment? I'd
prefer to have penta be accurate, even if the mail doesn't say
everything it could. It looks like I'll be holding off the CfP until we
have an answer to this, at least.
Cheers,
