I am going to make badge bands reusable in other Debian events, so I
overestimate it a bit.
T-shirts are estimated in 500 normal + 100 for orga + 100 for video
team. The overestimation of 100 t-shirts comes from the fact that some
people wants to change the shirt size on site. Also, t-shirts can be
sold in other Debian events as souvenir as well.
Bags are also in one size, but we have to put sponsors logos on it. So
this would be sticking to the numbers of people in estimation.
If this needs adjustment I can try to adjust this.

This is their expenses (travel expenses in particular) under a different
header.

Sorry for my wordings.
The government agencies like NCHC and III cannot "sponsor" or "fund" us,
but they can "reimburse" our expenses under certain categories. Note
that if we add NCHC and III, we have 5 agencies (SPI, OCF, NCTU, NCHC,
III) that can be choosed for payment, and we should be extremely careful
to orchestrate the payment.
