[opensuse-conference] Fwd: Re: Bootstrapping Awesome Conference Registration Confirmation
How do we deal with someone who wants to be un-subscribed, as in, won't come to the conf? He does want to pay the Eur 50 for support, which is cool, btw... ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Bootstrapping Awesome Conference Registration Confirmation Date: Thursday 27 September 2012, 22:58:52 From: Andreas K.

I don't think he's necessarily saying to unsubscribe him. Only saying don't count his head for things at the oSC (e.g. meals, etc.) We had a bit of trouble getting the donation thing going at Summit until much too late. But one of the options I had briefly thought of for registration is to create some sort of a "Non-Attendee Supporter" registration option where people can donate but aren't counted toward the final headcount. I think this would be a good option and people who see this (through good marketing) will feel motivated to donate (because they wanted to donate somewhere else but nothing exists currently). Better to make a good universal solution like this than to address Andreas's issue specifically. I'm of the belief doing this will gain even more donations than you might have originally anticipated.

Just ignore it, I've been told by three guys in total to remove them from the registration list but I don't want to touch manually that list for many reasons and 3 people is way too less to worry (3 guys including that one as well, he has a @gentoo mail in case you haven't noticed ;) ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
