[Attendee's voice from the back of the audience, feel free to disregard completely.] I was following the "unmeeting" on Monday, and when this idea came up I had a slight "WTF?!" moment. Even almost two days later, I still consider the idea to deprive all participants of half an hour of sleep and half on hour of recreation time over lunch in exchange for USD 275 not a good deal; that saves roughly 0.1% of the whole budget or USD 0.75 per participant [0] at the cost of an -- in my opinion -- significant cut into "quality of life". I was close to transferring EUR 219 to ffis during Monday's meeting, earmarked with "DebConf10 - SOS (Save Our Sleep)" :) Again, please feel free to just ignore my thoughts. -- And thanks for your hard work on making this yet another great DebConf!
