I would recommend separating the two things - the pledgie drive allows
us to build up some buzz for the conference and know how much money we
have available, it's useful to end it earlier to (a) have a last-minute
dash like we had over the weekend and (b) allow accurate budgeting. The
paypal account for LGM is open all year round, and donations to
lgm at gnome.org can be made any time - I'd perhaps make it easy for
attendees to pledge a donation during the conference, but not to do it
through Pledgie, which is really a fundraising drive.

Cheers,
Dave.
