[yapc] howto conference costs

[Dan MacNeil]

I'm still amazed at how cheap and useful the conference was.

Other non profit (social action/peace/justice/housing) conferences are not
as cheap.

--$200-$400 seems typical.

I'm wondering if YAPC::NA is reproducable.

How was this low cost achieved?

Some stuff seems obvious.

1) Travel to FL in June is less popular.
2) No printed handouts.

Other questions are:

Were speakers paid?

Was the bulk of the cost covered by ActiveState or other donor?

How much was it to rent the college?
