-== Policy ==
+= Policy =
 There is a significant amount of work required to put on a successful, large conference like FOSS4G, and in order to keep prices down, much of this work needs to be done by volunteers. A few discounts will be offered to people who take on some of the laborious, less glamorous, or highly effective tasks as an incentive / thankyou.
@@ Line 10: / Line 10: @@
 In order to mitigate financial risk, and add an incentive to volunteers, the level of discounts offered will be dependent upon the profit from the conference. I.e. More attendees at the conference means more discounts.
-== Sponsors ==
+Only people putting in an exceptional effort will be offered a credit. Discounts are aimed to provide a small token of appreciation for super-human efforts rather than as a money saving exercise. If you are having problems paying for the conference, your time would be better spent getting a part time job flipping hamburgers.
