Well, for the Italian Perl Workshop, Act was modified to help with
free events.

You can set::

  [registration]
  gratis=1

in your ``act.ini``. Then, the ``user/main`` template should say "You
have not confirmed your participation to this conference yet" instead
of "You have not bought your conference ticket yet".

You also need to specify a registration price of 0; we wrote this::

  [payment]
  type        = YEF
  currency    = EUR
  open        = 1
  invoices    = 1
  products    = registration

  [product_registration]
  name_en     = Registration
  name_it     = Iscrizione
  prices      = 2

  [product_registration_price1]
  name_en     = Gratis
  name_it     = Gratis
  amount      = 0

  [product_registration_price2]
  name_en     = Supporter
  name_it     = Supporter
  amount      = 50

So our attendees could choose to give us money if they wanted.
