Good question, Ed. Let me be the bonehead to ask the question that naturally follows: <hedge>It's almost time to hit up our various management chains to pay for us all to attend EclipseCon 2006, so I was curious to know.....</hedge> What is the price for program committee members?

:-P

Ed,
Thanks for the question.  Last year (and this year) the pricing philosophy was/is:

• Committers are Members
• Members get a discount off the full registration price
• Hence Committers get a discount off the full price
• We wanted to give something a little more to Committers, especially since they might have trouble arguing with their management to send them, so we extended the maximum discount for Committers longer than for just plain Members.
• Speakers and Tutorial Presenters get a free registration - the policy is listed here (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Policies.do).  I thought it was on the Registration page as well, but it's not - sorry about that - I'll fix it straight away.
  

I was just looking at: 
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Registration.do

The prices for Committer and Member are exactly the same except for Early Conference and Passport. Shouldn't there be more of a discount for Committer?

Also, Bjorn and I talked at one point about discounts for speakers, tutorial presenters, etc.. Whatever happened with that? The web site doesn't mention it at all. Discounts could increase participation.
