I don't think that we have charged for pre-conferences in previous years, have we? I am pretty sure that we haven't charged for hackfests. I am not sure I understand your point which seems to be: Since there are travel costs associated with going to the hackfest/precon, we should charge a fee to make it more expensive. I think that we should encourage everyone to participate in as much of code4lib as they can. Perhaps we should charge $225 for code4lib and give a $100 rebate to folks who attend the precon.
