Re: Fwd: registration information requirement

[Pockey Lam <pockeylam gnome org>]

Dear Akhil and  Bharath,

If we have a keynote conference room of 300 people plus 1 x track of 100 
people, should we limit the registration quota of getting lunch coupons 
to 400 or 500 people?  What's the attendance rate after participants 
registered online e.g. for foss.in?  (there is always some people not 
joining after registered, we also wasted a lot of food last year due to 
over-estimate the attendance rate like 90%+ ).

One more thing, in order to attract sponsors, we also plan to print 
conference bags (so sponsors can give away inserts / promotional 
materials according to their package). Hence, let's start talking about 
the quota for registration.

Thanks,
Pockey

Sounds good :)
we can start talking about the capacity of the conference and 
registration quota.
