Student fees

[ettrich at greentech.cz]

Hi, 
 
why do you want to pay the buisness fee? For all other attendants the 
conference is free, you have only to pay the accomodation and the food, expect 
15-20 Euros a day. I think cheaper you won¨t get any conference in the world. 
The only thing is that the number of attendants is limited. So there is a 
number of places reserved for key developers and speakers, without them the 
conference would not make sense. But still more than half of the capacity is 
open for every contributor to KDE, including all, from the once doing 
documentation, publicity to the coding students all over the world. The 
conference is certainly not a closed core coders meeting but open to the whole 
KDE community. 
 
Greetings 
Rudi
