Our budget will be updated here as it's worked out:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debconf-data/dc10/budget.ods
We should enter most of the small charges soon. I am still waiting
for CU to give the big changes, they can be notoriously slow at
getting things done (and I haven't been pushing them since it's less
frustrating that way).
However, what I have and estimate as of today show we are doing well,
some costs are less than estimated. I am not surprised at costs being
less than expected: we had no idea how many people would not show up,
not eat meals, and so on.
As for estimates as to what is outstanding/expected total costs, I'll
see what we can do by the end of the week.
As for a timeline, the small stuff by the end of the week, the big
stuff a few weeks(?). The big stuff I can better estimate, though.
