Hi everyone, Here's the plan unless someone brings up an absolute roadblock. We'll open the registrations tonight and start publicising it. The rates are as follows. - Early bird rates : From July 6 to Aug 31 : 250 INR - Pay before 31 Aug - This can be done either online using the website or using one of the offline registrations during the user group meetings. - Regular rates : From Aug 31 to Sep 20 : 350 INR - Pay after Aug 31 - This rate holds whether it's done online or offline. I'm not sure if there will be an offline gathering after 31 Aug though. - Spot registrations : At the desk on 25/26 Sep : 500 INR - For people who just show up on that day. - Swag bags will be given only if there are leftovers (registered people are prioritised). - This rate is high and there's the "no swag punishment" to discourage people from doing this. The rates are determined when people pay and not when they register. If there are groups who are concerned that there will be no way for them to pay early (college students in remote areas), they're free to hold a small local meet, gather the people there who are interested, collect the money and let us know. We'll take care of marking them as paid. Offline extortion of registration fees can be done once in July and once in August. We can take care of Bangalore. Kenneth/Kausik can take of Chennai. Mehul has agreed to take care of Mumbai and Steve for Pune. The details of how to integrate the doattend interface onto the website are being dealt with by Anand C (external link, embedded form etc.). Okay. That's that. If anyone objects, please raise your voice now or forever hold your peace! If there are no objections, we'll roll this out tonight and start publicising it. Thanks --

Since people are paying online, we need to clarify the terms & conditions for cancellation of the registration. Anand

Yes. That's important. Can you fix up the site? I'll contact doattend to see what we can do.
Their site does not mention any "TOS-like statement" regarding data mining registered users ---what information does doattend collect from the person registering and how do they use this (or not)?, do they store CC/DC numbers?, their spam policy?, etc... http://www.doattend.com/pricing, has no information and I checked out other pages which didnt give any more info either. -- peace, vid || http://svaksha.com

Vivek brought this up when doattend was first mentioned and I believe he had some details. I'm not sure though. I'll forward your email to them for comments. --

I found a link, http://www.doattend.com/terms_and_conditions (blink-and-you-miss-the-link-in-tiny-fonts-at-the-bottom-of-the-page) but there is no mention of what they do (or dont do) with credit and debit card numbers stored in the DB. -- peace, vid || http://svaksha.com
