Hi Denis,

thanks for getting back on this !

I'd also suggest *not* to go for SWIFT payments again. They have
caused so much trouble last year... perhaps we should start
with the credit-card registration really early this time ?!

You do need a good definition of "community members" then, e.g.
O'Reilly is certainly a community member as well, but I'd not give
them a booth for EUR 1000.

See my other mail on "Budget": trying to get projectors for free
would also help a lot.

Same day as last year ? (that was Monday as I recall)
