For our Python Meeting Düsseldorf (http://pyddf.de/) we do ask people
to register via email, but most simply attend the meeting without
registration.

Our meeting charges a small fee to cover the venue costs, but this
is paid at the meeting, not upfront.

So far, we have not had problems with this, so we're no longer
insisting on registration.

Another user group meeting in Cologne uses Doodle for the RSVPs.
