But how many listeners we lost because they weren't able to pay for
speakers? There is no free beer. You know numbers of visitors on last
conferences. It is decreasing.
If somebody didn't go to FrOSCon because 250 euros is too much for
him, why he would go to FB Conference where only fees are more than two
times bigger?
