I had the impression that it was not a promise in the following sense: "if you sponsor amount X, then we will give you a bag" -- it was more of an implicit promise and a very important sponsorship relations goal to achieve. I haven't participated in the sponsorship negotiations, so I can't say for sure. > Mostly done. Money got transfered to ganneff, who spread it to all over > europe to the sponsorees.

Ok, great to know. Maybe someone could update the rt.debconf.org ticket with appropriately detailed information? And close it when it's done? > Hmm... seems like the financial report from dc5 got lost on > svn.debian.org, when the old repositories got removed... and I can't > find it on the old website. You have a copy left? I think I have a copy of the spreadsheet, yes. Would it be needed? I don't know if it's up to date, but there is always the auditing report produced by the accounting firm, which is what Linux-Aktivaattori will use for official purposes when dealing with the Finnish authorities. If I'm not mistaken, there was never a Financial Report of the kind that we first envisioned. That would have included the information in the audit, a more in-depth analysis as well as commentary from those who were intimately involved with sponsorship negotiations, book-keeping, cash registry, money exchange and transfer and other financial aspects. There would probably have been some brief analysis of the contracts that were signed for the dorms and other facilities as well as the food, day trip and formal dinner arrangements. But we ran out of time and energy, so it was dropped in favour of other things. -- Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>
