That number is the current number of registrated people on the website.
Also this is the number we tell sponsors to send swags.

The on-site accommodation itself is free, but it doesn't provide
mattresses, blankets and pillows to sleep on, so without them we have to
sleep on the hard floor.

This consideration is that university freshmen often need these to sleep
in the dorm, so we may put the information in the BBS (yes, we are still
using this) after event, and tell students they can buy used ones.

I am wondering if selling used things after conference is not
appropriate here.
