It was about 5k. It was just about zero when we did travel
sponsorship, then his been slowly increasing as we got more sponsors.
The reason for such a huge surplus now is cutting the amount of meals
I had listed by about half (300 was *way* too high, which I should
have been able to know). I also removed the "extra accommodation"
which we saw we won't be needing. These were massive. It's to the
point where we could repay the 20kUSD Debian loan if we wanted.
We can also talk about funding the dinner or day trip...
