Right.

*nods*
So, we'll either make an agreement between Debian (SPI) and DIVA, stating DIVA
will handle money for DebConf11 (and Debian will pay any debts or DIVA will
give a surplus to Debian) *or* DIVA wants to become a trusted Debian
organisation in Bosnia (and then basically the same as plan A).
If I understand correctly, these are our options. And then I think, they are
not exclusive: we can do a.) first (=now) and plan b.) too.
(And then we can still+also collect money via SPI+ffis too.)
Is that the way we should be going now? (/me thinks of much smaller DebConfs
with much smaller budgets... ;)
cheers,
