If I understand correctly, these are our options. And then I think, they are not exclusive: we can do a.) first (=now) and plan b.) too. (And then we can still+also collect money via SPI+ffis too.) Is that the way we should be going now? (/me thinks of much smaller DebConfs with much smaller budgets... ;) cheers, Holger
