<div dir="ltr">Again, not staff, but first question in my head would be "are young visitors representatives of FOSDEM even if it itself is a non-profit?". The language seems to indicate people who represent a non-profit themselves, not those merely visiting an event organised by a non-profit. To me this suggests people like Red Cross volunteers, United Nations interns and many others in similar positions. If somebody is just a 20-year old interested in FLOS software they are probably not "representative of a non-profit organisation".<div><br></div><div>If they are a contributor to a FLOSS project then the organisation behind the project might help (e.g. the Document Foundation if they contributed to LibreOffice, Mozilla -> quite a few projects, etc.).</div><div><br></div><div>Greetings,</div><div>Emanuil</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 22 December 2015 at 07:22, Daniel Pocock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel@pocock.pro" target="_blank">daniel@pocock.pro</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

Apparently the visa fees are waived for people under 25 who travel to an<br>
event organised by a non-profit organisation<br>
<br>
Is FOSDEM incorporated as a non-profit entity and could this be added to<br>
the About page and also the FAQ info about visas?<br>

It says there is an exemption from the visa fee for "representatives of<br>
non-profit organisations aged 25 years or less participating in<br>
seminars, conferences, sports, cultural or educational events organised<br>
by non-profit organisations.".<br>
