No hats here! A plain Debian contributor role. I feel I might have
picked confusing words, while RoI I understand it as more of a finance
term. What I meant is that "as plain Debian contributor" looking at
the email archives from Dec 2019 to March 2020 I find no valuable
information, there is nothing to measure. Lack of communication
perhaps?
With my DebConf sponsors hat, I am well aware of "Improving the
DebConf fundraising processes" and I believe Anisa has done really
good work and relief quite an amount of work the team does.

It looks like you were a really successful part of the program, and
since you are Debian contributor, maybe you should consider helping
out the team and get more involved in Outreach coordination, I am very
positive you would do really awesome work there.

That's great, I'd love to see more successful outreach stories to help
on coordinating the Debian Outreach side of things.
