No offense, but in the years that I have been going to OSCON I've
never had anywhere near enough money to buy a real pass to OSCON.
Every year it has been volunteering for a booth, or attending OSCAMP.
Last year I was able to afford Ubuntu Live through one of the more
extreme discount codes, but that is it.  There are lots of people who
participate as much as they can by way of volunteering, and I am one
of them.  We help make the conference happen so please treat us with
respect even if we can't afford to pay are way in.

As a committee members you are technically a volunteer with a free
pass yourself!

I would have really loved to attend as a regular conference goer, but
that just isn't financially possible for me.  I almost got one this
year because a friend on the committee can't come this year, but
apparently committee passes aren't transferable.
