I was just going through the paperwork to register to the Dec. SIGAda/
Ada Expo meeting, and I noticed that (for the first time, if I'm not
mistaken) ther is a registration charge for SIGAda.  A HEFTY $200 fee.
What it didn't indicate is if this included admission to the Expo.  I
would think so, but it didn't say.  Not only that, but an advertisement
for the Expo in Defense Science and Electronics asked for $250 for
attendance, with a $150 discount for SIGAda attendees.  What gives?
Does anybody know what the actual charges are?  And, why the $200 fee
all of a sudden?  Is this necessary according to some ACM rule for SIGs,
or are the meetings becoming too expensive for local corporate sponsorship?
