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...

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.

Beste Jos,

I'm happy to pay the promised donation (a good thing (tm) :), but I'm not coming to Prague because of time constraints. So you dont have to bother with any further preparations for me (and can actually take me out of the list of attendees).

Sorry, Andreas

Dear reader,

My deepest apologies for sending the previous message to all of you this way. It was obviously meant to go out to each of you individually - not with everyone in to at once. Please do not reply-all on that message to not bother other people.

Again, my humble and sincere apologies for the mistake.

Greetings, Jos Poortvliet
