Thanks for preparing this. A few questions: I'm having trouble interpreting the section under the heading "local estimates". Does this refer to estimates of the number of local sponsors you expect to find at each of these levels, or does it refer to something else? (I note that the numbers in this column for "gold" and "silver" appear to be greater than the estimated total numbers.) For the calculation of person-days, you've indicated 2090 person-days with 60 DebCamp attendees. This amounts to an average of 290 attendees per day of DebConf. Does this budget assume all of these attendees are staying on-site at LeCamp? Per my mail of <[🔎] 20121125024909.GA12571@virgil.dodds.net>, I do not believe it is realistic to project we will have 290 adult DebConf attendees staying on site at Le Camp. The income from accomodation fees and professional and corporate registrations exceeds the number of 1 and 2 person rooms listed on <http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/LeCamp/Rooms>. What assumptions have gone into the calculation of these quantities for the different kinds of fees, and how do these assumptions line up with the known facts about available accomodation? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
