The group I'm involved with permaculture.info would be interested in 
attending one of these conferences and submitting a paper.
We've been working on a colaborative plant database, with a focus on 
relationships between the plants and expressing the data in an xml type 
format suitable for the semantic web.

One concer to us is the cost involved. We are working outside the 
traditional academic domain and only have very limited funds (the total 
grant for the project is USD 10,000).

I'd appreciate if you could get back to be on the costs and whether any 
discounts would be availiable.

        Yours sincerly
