[Wien] WIEN2k workshop

[Peter Blaha]

Dear wien2k users,

Before we receive a further flood of requests of waiving the registration fee on
this mailing list:

a) I'm NOT the local organizer and we have nothing to do with the financial
    organization of this workshop. So it does not make sense to ask me for support.
b) The local organizer is Dr. Ong, as indicated in the workshop web-page, but
    I very much doubt that the local organizers have money to support free participation
    (or even travel and accommodation support).
c) Even when there would be some money, the question would be: whom should we support ?
    Mr AAA or BBB ??? I understand the difficult situation in some countries, but I
    don't think that the Singapore organizers can support all people from these countries.

We have urged the local organizers to make the fee as cheap as possible, and this
fee includes also coffee and lunches, so these are "real" costs for the organizers
which they need to get back with the registration fee.

Regards
