Current "assets": SPI: 35,743.41 USD (included as part of Debian money) FFIS: 27,726.77 EUR (separate earmark) Debconf11 sponsor/attendee payments yet to be received: 5450 EUR to ffis 10500 USD to SPI Expected future expenses: 500 USD from SPI 11500 or so from FFIS + 22000 EUR of travel sponsorship. I can not track this as well as the other numbers in this message, but I am guessing that about 5000 EUR from FFIS and ~25000 in USD from SPI, but travel costs can be less than requested, so this is a very imprecise number. I haven't had enough data to track this (I tried, remember?), so this took the most time to try to figure out, and has the most possibility for human error. Thus, right now, given this data, we might expect around a 20k USD in leftovers at SPI and 16k EUR in leftovers at FFIS. To have a buffer to meet our obligations, you could leave minimum ~26k in SPI and ~17k EUR at FFIS (our earmark, not debian's) in case our future payments do not come in on time. It seems like we could move ~10k EUR from debconf11->debian earmark at FFIS if needed. If you have any questions or would like to discuss more about where to take money, just find me on IRC.
