The upper bound of 360 is that we would like to have local people (especially students and contributors) joining us. We recently have events like Ubuntu Release Party, which is a good chance to promote such event. Also we are distributing DebConf posters in some of the universities. Hope that this does not sound too "wishful thinking".

Number of attendees who are paying for themselves. Currently we are setting the ratio at 17% (50 of 296 attendees). Best regards, Yao Wei
