We agree with the amount of funds reserved to bursaries at this point. Considering the importance of bursaries for the success of DebConf, we are glad to see that we are able to reserve a good sum of funds to it, thanks to the good work of the Fundraising team. Regarding the conference dinner, we acknowledge the team's efforts to lower its price although we still believe the final sum is high. If the team is 100% sure that there is no cancelation fee, we think that the contract can be signed. However, in the case of further needs from bursaries, the contract should be reduced/cancelled or more funds need to be raised. We understand that minor expenses already on the budget can be made/approved directly by team leads. Anything of a greater importance, or that was included in this budget just as a rough estimative, should still be submitted to dc-team. Thanks to everyone who was somehow involved in this process. Tassia, On behalf of the DebConf Chairs.
