We can shift this, of course, but it shouldn't go into june. :)
(nothing was announced yet about the deadline)

Denis has a bank account for the conference setup. Unfortunately the
payment situation doesn't seem to have been worked out yet. If we don't
get news on this by monday, let's go with ShareIt if at all possible.
What were the costs again?

Putting the prices up without a way to pay us will generate a lot of
questions from people wondering how to pay. Better put up the payment
options right away.

Talking about people going to complain, I'd like to have an email address
for europython.org. Unfortunately the IP has not been transferred to amaze.nl,
which means we can't supply addresses at europython.org. I guess I can go
mail the owner of the domain again..

Definitely. That's even more urgent than getting the program worked out.
It all has to happen next week, people!
