Re: [Debconf-team] Registration plan / pentabarf changes
Hi,
One more suggestion: Stop directing people to
http://penta.debconf.org/ and instead put that info on
dc11/registration and directly to the account creation and conference
registration pages. Some past DebConfs did this. It is one fewer
thing to forget about updating things... http://penta.debconf.org
could even redirect to dc11/registration.xhtml

Definitely, but perhaps it could be on dc11/registration.xhtml? In
fact, antiharrassment@{debian,debconf}.org would be good to mention
there too.
For DC10, people with this field checked were just (eventually)
emailed and 95% replied saying "oh, I don't need anything". (And
people who checked it after that batch never got anything). Emailing
us is simplest and least likely to get lost.

This is a good point. We had thought that "Reserve sponsored
accommodation for me" would be the equivalent of "Regular room" in the
past - if you have that + in sponsored category, then you are on track
for getting sponsorship. In past years, those few denied sponsorship
were then moved to the "unsponsored" category.
However, you have an interesting idea about using "accom" (and "food")
to indicate sponsorship received or not...
(moray: I just realized that option B doesn't have a way to say
"doesn't have food sponsorship" yet, at least not in penta.)
