Hi there, I am writing about CHF 39k sponsorship money committed and the venue.
First, I came to this project when I read the news :"On February 20, 2012, the DebConf committee decided that DebConf13, the Debian developer conference of 2013, should take place on the shores of the Lake Neuchātel in Switzerland, most likely in the middle of August." [1] Now the difficult part is that we raised CHF 39k for Vaumarcus and CHF 1k for Interlaken (CHF 1k which are venue independant). All the material was ready for Vaumarcus, sponsorship brochure and cover-letter and selling a project with an undefined venue is more difficult. That why I decided to stop talking and to act. Now, if we choose another venue, we would need to ask each committed sponsors again with the risk that they walk away. So, it is still possible but it could have a cost to the project.
