That's not a whole lot of time for people who need to secure funding
and/or approval to ATTEND the event. Yes, for attendees who are
presenters, or who have a standing ability to register, it probably
doesn't matter. But for those of us (especially academics) who have
to share the content/abstracts of scheduled sessions with those who
decide whether to permit and/or fund our attendance, three days (over a
WEEKEND even) are nowhere near enough time to present the
justifications and secure the necessary support. It slams those
who can least afford it with an additional $200 just because we have
to beg for it.

And no, I'm not talking about STUDENTS. When I say "academics" I'm
talking about staff members responsible for running installations of
Apache projects in production shops at academic institutions.
