I believe I am one of those examples that coughs up some money to spend 
at travel costs each event I attend, and then coughs up some more to 
spend at staying in a hotel at the event itself.

Latest LinuxTag in Berlin though I must admit I had arranged for my 
employer to pay for the travel costs, and the hotel costs were taken 
care of by Max (thanks!).

Frankly, I must say I don't give a shit about where my money goes, it's 
being spent whether I attend expensive events or travel for a holiday 
(which I haven't done since a couple of years now). What I /do/ care 
about is that I know this money could have been spent elsewhere, or 
better if you will. For that to happen though it is important we all 
meet and exchange ideas and shake hands and get something going.

Only then can we discuss what is a better thing for attendees to 
reimburse and how to generate some revenue in order for us to be able to 
actually reimburse anything.

Just my ~1416,90 euros (for 2007 alone),

Kind regards,
