(I'm sorry, even if I'm answering at several mails/threads, I'm somewhat at a loss regarding the time by which each mail has been sent... I'm trying to read whole threads before replying to them, but mails in parallel threads escape me :-/ )

I guess that with Richard's mails on the expectable levels of sponsorship we can acquire, and with the sponsor acquisition activity just starting to bear fruit, I am (slightly) more at ease. Yes, the budget has not yet been approved, but we *did* manage to get some important reductions on the global costs. > Yes -- as has been said, it's late already.

Right. I am really expecting to see some national sponsors. The only ones really needing us to settle the venue are the respective cantons — And I hope not to be too naïve, but I'm holding quite high expectations on it. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
