Zack, We would now like to request the use of the DebConf11 surplus for DebConf12. See below.

These two messages describe our current monetary status: http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20120612.164231.5dab56bb.en.html http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20120612.183811.fb6f6511.en.html We would like to be able to count on the DC11 surplus (around 25k$) for DC12. This will allow us to immediately send out travel sponsorship confirmations. It will also mean that the Debian bank (money from general Debian funds, as opposed to surplus) won't need to be used. Thus, I am requesting use of the (entire) DC11 surplus. It is very unlike we'll actually have to use the whole thing - and if/when government support comes through, perhaps not any.
