I had a quick look at the state of the bursaries. I don't have all of the data I'd need to model exactly what the effect would be. But from what I can see, there are still people I'd consider strong candidates to receive a bursary, who haven't received a bursary, yet. So, +1 on extending the budget. Since your last budget approval, I've updated it with sponsorship raised, and added income from accommodation sold to paying attendees: https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc22/-/compare/budget-1...main?from_project_id=63730#f5fd69db58ee61b0364c1922df97ac168c0c4051 The proposed new budget: EUR 26,158.34 assets:debian-france EUR 195,752.66 expenses EUR 25,710.00 accommodation EUR 2,720.00 bedding EUR 5,390.00 debcamp EUR 17,600.00 debconf EUR 4,000.00 day trip EUR 2,000.00 bus EUR 2,000.00 tour guide EUR 992.66 fees EUR 53,500.00 food EUR 700.00 beer EUR 9,800.00 debcamp EUR 42,000.00 debconf EUR 1,000.00 refreshments EUR 1,000.00 graphic materials EUR 1,000.00 incidentals EUR 1,200.00 local team EUR 10,700.00 party EUR 500.00 cheese and wine EUR 8,200.00 conference dinner EUR 800.00 bus EUR 6,600.00 food EUR 800.00 music EUR 2,000.00 social event EUR 500.00 drinks EUR 1,500.00 food EUR 8,000.00 swag EUR 67,450.00 travel EUR 47,500.00 bursary EUR 14,000.00 diversity EUR 33,500.00 general EUR 3,000.00 invited-speakers EUR 16,950.00 team EUR 7,500.00 dc23 EUR 2,700.00 debconf-ctte EUR 1,750.00 registration EUR 5,000.00 video EUR 18,500.00 venue EUR 12,000.00 av equipment EUR 200.00 covid tests EUR 100.00 hygiene EUR 3,000.00 internet EUR 3,200.00 tents EUR 3,700.00 video EUR 1,200.00 computers EUR 2,500.00 shipping EUR -221,911.00 income EUR -8,100.00 accommodation EUR -1,104.00 hacklab-bar EUR -17,690.00 meals EUR -8,500.00 registration EUR -186,517.00 sponsors EUR -2,800.00 bronze EUR -20,000.00 gold EUR -80,000.00 platinum EUR -81,300.00 silver EUR -2,417.00 supporter -------------------- 0 That's projecting a €26k profit. In that is a projection that we can raise another €30k of sponsorship. I'd say that's ambitious but not unreasonable. Signup seems a little slower than we projected, so we're probably over-projecting accommodation and food expenses. That would also mean we're over-projecting income from registration fees, accommodation, and food. But those paid attendees often sign up after the bursary deadline, so it's too soon to call that one. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
