Assuming we use DoAttend again, it's not going to be difficult to
manage.  (cc-ing Shalin at DoAttend ... can DoAttend handle tiers?)

Say we have paid tutorials on Friday, say they are Rs.150 per head per
session.  It means:

1. we have an exact count of how many people are interested in each session.
2. tutors can come with handouts, since they have some cash.
3. we can pay the tutors (say, 30:70, split with the conference)
4. we can mandate a minimum of say, 10 per session, for the tutorial
to be conducted.

I know, 150 per session seems crazy! ("think of the kids! the pore
students travelling across the country to learn python!"), but 150 is
just a number, it can be 100, or 200, or 400.  But paid tutorials
might enable us to go beyond "Introduction to Python", "Introduction
to Django" type talks, maybe Noufal can conduct his C-API session here
too.
