Without Debian monies, I see it very difficult we will be able to fund Queue B. Extra venue costs are popping up quite quickly and they aren't cheap. Also,Zack's reply about how we are prioritizing our expenses is quite worrisome, but I don't fully grok it. I'll inquire on IRC. Last but not least, with one month to go many of those ticket prices are most likely heavily undervalued. Some tickets might even have doubled their price. I would like to suggest we spend this week working with Queue A people to make sure they are coming and they are taken care of before looking into Queue B. My 20 millicents, P.
