*me neither*, paying for a conference is straight forward if you claim expenses. Some unnecessary additional package not.
I'm now checking whether we can make the attendance fee mandatory
for all prof/corp attendees, but have vouchers available on request
to waive the fee.
Making the fee mandatory is the sanest approach IMO and makes no difference to the status quo.
We rely on self-declaration and can't know if an attendee goes to Debconf in his free time or paid by his company.
