So, this is embarrasing, but there was a long-standing error in the budget spreadsheet (not summing everything; I never made structural changes in that part of the sheet so I never noticed), missing out on attendee fees professional fees. But some other costs have gone up a tiny bit, too, but overall, it is much better. Thanks to Henning for fixing this. So now we are at dc12_net = -8k$ + 3-5k$(more attendee fees?) + food_cost_savings + "other costs"_inaccuracies > dc12_net = dc12_income - dc12_expenses.

Considering dc12 surplus, we have a nice buffer. Still, all cost-cutting practical will help the future. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 1077 days, 3:59 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
