About confirming people the sponsored food, I think we should do that ASAP.
For the travel stuff, yes, please let's talk about this in the meeting,
(I actually added some points to the meeting agenda some days ago related
to this).
Some ideas before the meeting, I *think* we might do it without the extra 20k,
because:
- food costs are likely to be slighly less (maybe 2-3k USD)
- some people in the queue A has dropout (maybe 1-2k USD)
- some costs in the budget are a bit inflated
but also cutting or definitively giving up on some extra stuff:
- no sponsoring queue B at all
- no sponsoring daytrip
- no fomal dinner
However, I think we should fund at least 70% of the queue B, so what I propose
here is just ask from debian funds the 10100USD to exactly do this.
