we can do food stamps $ 10 per day, if there are 250 people in Debconf can save $ 2,500 a day on food, I think everyone can pay $ 10 a day for food .We can take turns selling tickets and access control of the dining room Also charge $ 5 for the shirt Another idea is to accept donations as is done at FOSDEM anto > That would indeed get us on the positive side of things, but we'd > probably want to limit it to people getting free food or > accommodations. > > What do other people think about these ideas? > > - Richard > > -- Anto Recio || a...@debian-community.org || +507 64881266 "People power online" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
