First of all I would like to congratulate you all with the website and the communication around your event. I got very interested and as any drupalcamp I was looking at the price and I was a bit blown away..
This is the first Drupalcamp I have seen that asks for prices that are higher than a Drupalcon compared in dimension.
As a student but being a fan of Drupal since quite some years I have some questions/remarks on this event.
Can you please justify this price on your website towards people so they know what they pay for. I can imagine that someone that wants to find out about Drupal might be very scared when seeing this event. And if that person is comparing this with another Drupalcamp and suddenly sees it's free but still it is able to offer free food this person will possibly feel that something is not justified. Personally I'm afraid that the balance is a bit lost and yet we are still using that same name.
If you really want to charge high prices, please give it a different name and promote it as a non-community event because I feel a bit excluded now. Even with those community prices.
Don't feel attacked by this, this is written with a lot of questions and concerns from me personally in protecting the 'free' spirit and it's monetary value that we should pay for having 2 days of fun.
