Thanks for your work, this is looking very nice.

I have a couple of questions on costs:

Are the cost estimates Brazilian real or US dollar prices?  e.g. for
the $80 per-person-per-night accommodation cost, though this sounds
quite high either way: I've put up some price comparisons across
recent DebConfs at http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/PriceComparison

Could you clarify the food costs -- is it $17 for each meal or for
both, and what is included in the $16600?  If it's $17 for two meals,
I get 17*300*7+17*100*7 = 47600, plus 5*2*7*300 = 21000 for coffee
breaks in the second week.

The $35,000 for conference facilities also sounds quite high.
