Waiting list activated on za.pycon.org
Greetings We hit 215 tickets committed so we took a decision to switch registration on za.pycon.org to a waiting list. The information captured is the same but there's a red box letting people know they're signing up to a waiting list and the emails sent out are different (they explain the waiting list and don't contain an invoice). This doesn't mean no more tickets are available for PyConZA -- just that we have to limit things carefully from here. Step one is chasing current sponsors and people who haven't paid to make sure they either use their tickets or free them up for people who will. Step two will be contacting people on the waiting list if spaces become available. Schiavo Simon
Perhaps we should update Quicket as well, because you can still sign up there and pay. On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 3:39 PM, Simon Cross < simon.cross@praekeltfoundation.org> wrote:

Good point! Hmm. Not quite sure what to do there since we still need to let people pay. Lauren, any thoughts? Maybe shutting it down is best? Or perhaps we can just put a notice there too telling people not to pay unless they've received an invoice? Schiavo Simon
This is a good point. I dont think I can put a notice up but let me check it out quickly. On 6 September 2012 16:56, Simon Cross <simon.cross@praekeltfoundation.org>wrote:
