Tens of thousands? I'd say tens of thousands from swiss donors should be possible. This would need a coordinated effort for Debconf. It's not just what we get every year without doing something, but raising money in the range of 500.- € per donations on special occasions where we needed money (BSPs) was possible without much effort. So I guess with more effort tens of thousands for Debconf should be possible. Options to consider: - The economic crisis has not yet hit Switzerland as hard as other European countries. I don't think that it has a big impact on the sponsoring behavior yet. - There are many charitable trusts in Switzerland we could approach for sponsorship. For another much smaller conference I once got about 20'000.- from such a trust. But I might have been very lucky. - We are well aware that fundrising in Switzerland would be one of our top priorites during 2012 if we are going to organize Debconf in Switzerland.
