[Koha] KohaCon 2017 Online Registration Form

Hi,

from the IRC meeting I understand the fee and the registration is
there to avoid having locals attend the conference. Is that correct?

A very important point of Kohacon as I understand it is to give
locals a chance to participate in something they could otherwise
not be part of. Free of charge.

We switch the location every year and have rules to avoid it going
back and forth between Europe and the USA most of the time. Rules
that lead to the Philippines winning the bid by default, because a
European location was automatically ruled out this time.

As I understand, we do that so there is a small chance for people
to attend a Kohacon even if they can't travel to distant places.
I'd like people in the Philippines to have that chance next year.

I would like some clarification on this please.
