Most were not going to have their expenses paid.
Many of those didn't go.
A significant % of the remaining speakers did have
their expenses covered = many.

the conference for free. IME all developer conferences are like that. What else
could you do, have a security guard to escort speakers off the premises after
each talk? :-)
I know it got up some speakers' noses last year how such a big deal was made of
that being some sort of special thing.
Cheers,
Jim Cooper

speaker expenses? Because considering the deadline for the C4P is on
the 3rd of July, it would be good to know. Or do you recommend those
that want to submit do and then based on a later decision, go or not go
if accepted?

Hi Jim,
was expected to pay to attend (the rest) of the conference. And I've
been speaking to a few dozen now (for more then a decade)...
when all speakers not only got their flight and hotel covered, but also
a small stipend for sessions (if more than two I believe) and conference
shirt (only when papers were submitted in time, if I recall correctly,
right ol' man? ;-)).
The main technical thing I had a problem with last year was the
last-minute request to use Camtasia to capture the session. With only a
few days left, I had to install a trial version on my laptop, hoping it
wouldn't interfere with the configuration for my sessions (which it
didn't, but it's not something I would recommend doing a few days before
you leave home)...
However, another major issue that I was able to just avoid last year is
the passport issue. Last year, I still had a passport which was issued
before a certain date (Oct 26th of some year) so it was not yet required
to have the chip with biometrical data on it. This year, however, I need
to get a new passport (it's valid until Jan 2007, so I need to get a new
one anyway - even for my visit to the UK in October). And from what I've
heard, the latest Dutch editions of the passport are not good enough
(yet) to enter the US. Not without a visa. Sigh. I'm planning to visit
the US Embassy in The Hague next month to get the final word on this,
but I'm not holding my breath... :-(
