what wrong? ( i am not telling that what they are doing is right ) what i am feeling is that he /she will attend the conference na ...
It's an overhead. I don't think it's worth it. If they're serious about the conf., they can pay and enter. I don't think we need to accommodate such people.
Was just wondering about earlier discussion about promoting in academic institution for the success of conference and there were several suggestions about using different kind of networks , in that context i was just willing to express my concern about mentioning exclusively about the registration specifically for people from Academic Institutions
But now i am just thinking to look once about the agenda of the conference , the home page anyways is not telling much , it tells that main target is developers so u are right in that context ( correct me if i am wrong ) ... are there any updations coming up..
there can be so many possibilities , what if some of the students who
come to conference and start calling up their friends and they suddenly come in 100's then ??
Two things 1. While possible, I don't think this scenario is probable so it's not worth discussing.
2. We'd get shafted. The extra people wouldn't get food, they wouldn't get swag, we wouldn't be able to accommodate them and we'd be totally messed up. I want these "some students" to hear about conf. *now* so that they can call their friends and we'd get numbers in advance.
anyways there should be fair chance for every one
For the people who are interested anyway.
