Correct, if we now in the next weeks (with all the help from all of you to
publish
the press release on different sources) don't get much registrants... then
we've a
problem.
Also strange that the people who mailed that they 'intended' to come didn't
register themself yet. But that's perhaps normal.

Correct, it would have been nice to have some sponsorship in money.
We have a few, but no major contributers from the Python, Zope
world (or this changed recently without my knowings). And that's a pitty.
If this was the case, then we didn't had to worry at the moment, now we have
to be really stricked concerning the budget, since we've none in front.

Well, let's wait and see. Hopefully we'll get our visitors and next year it
will be better.

Tom.
