I'm inclined to agree. I'd rather try to sell Fedora merch than collect
a registration fee. (I know that doesn't help us get budget for this
event, but unless we were going to charge three figures for
registration, I'm not sure it will make a difference.)

I'd been thinking of it as a way to offset the t-shirt cost. Because you know we have to have a t-shirt. :-)

Then again, we can always reconsider this if we can't get sponsors to help.

Maybe that's the way to go. Depends on how long we take to open reg, of course.

Is free for contributors (maybe even CLA+1?) with a small fee for those who aren't? I'm not sure if that results in setting up the system to take <10 registration fees, or if it results in getting more people signed on as contributors.
