Sadly, sponsorship is not lineal. So far, most of the companies who have agreed to
sponsor DebConf were the already convinced ones and some have even already budgeted
for us.
Raising a lot of money isn't going to fix some of the concerns I have raised.

People have stopped mailing and talking about concerns because they have been
ignored, called bad person because 'they don't trust the localteam', and in some
cases by IRC, insulted or seen how others were insulted by giving an opinion
that doesn't agree with yours.
You take the silence as you are doing great, I take it as some people just stop
caring about next year's DebConf, realized they are not going and just moved
on.
I personally wrote a big part of my first email some days ago, I wasn't planning
to send it but I got some encouragement to do it.
