I was following the "unmeeting" on Monday, and when this idea came up
I had a slight "WTF?!" moment.
Even almost two days later, I still consider the idea to deprive all
participants of half an hour of sleep and half on hour of recreation
time over lunch in exchange for USD 275 not a good deal; that saves
roughly 0.1% of the whole budget or USD 0.75 per participant [0] at
the cost of an -- in my opinion -- significant cut into "quality of
life".
I was close to transferring EUR 219 to ffis during Monday's meeting,
earmarked with "DebConf10 - SOS (Save Our Sleep)" :)
Again, please feel free to just ignore my thoughts. -- And thanks for
your hard work on making this yet another great DebConf!
Cheers,

I hope I got at least the magnitude of the numbers right ...
