Early bird discount
For the organization it has a lot of advantages to know as early as possible how many folks will turn up. Over the last FOSS4G's the week before the (often re-scheduled) closure of the early bird discount shows a peak in registration. Generally, half of the final number of registrations is an early bird.
Idea:
- T shirt with logos of all previous FOSS4Gs plus the ability zo mark them as "I've been there".
- Distribute these shirts in advance to early birds subscribers.
- Connect it to an viral "show your Fo|SS4G 2016 shirt at special places and locatins (taj Mahal, local OSGeo event, North Pole, your pet wearing it etc. or on any bridge ;-)).
- Show these results on Facebook
Other benefits:
- Save your bed in BaseCamp
- Save up your participation of the worksohps, as they are very often early overbooked
