my commentaries:
T-shirt and conference bags are already in budget. I don’t think it is our domain, so I didn’t check carefully the prices. But I think orga + video needs more t-shits.
Lanyards: if we don’t want printed lanyards, the budget seems OK (including badges). Otherwise I think we should increase the budget.
“Front desk registration costs” in “Venue and board” is not clear to me but I think some sort of bank fee etc.
“Registration desks”: the budget seems ok for all king of laminating paper, paper for badges, general materials for FD and organ in general.
We need a phone (and a registration phone number) and few credit (possibly it could be the the registration desk budget)
Transport seems very low. I expect more expenses (e.g. parking), because I expect more logistic travels, and if we had some people with disabilities, we should provide transportation to C&W, conference dinned, etc.
Remember the banners:. we need them with the sponsor logos.
And we need a lot of electrical stuffs. FD, orga office, hacklabs, etc. I don’t know these are in infrastructure budget (still missing) or a new item.
“diversity programme” and “newbies”. This means that bursaries team should handle also these two queues? [BTW usually these two are special funds from Debian, so they were budgeted also as income.]
In Income, section “Perk”, item C&W: what is it?
What I don’t like it is the “child care”. Previously we provided support, but parents had to organise and pay/support each other. I raised the question on last meeting, but I was stopped, so possibly I’m the only one who don’t like it.
ciao
