Good idea. >> Do we need to include lodging rooms in the total base price?

So for the big picture of > "how much money does DebConf spend", this is very relevant. I'll start a tab for projecting sponsored attendance. At the moment, I'm assuming we'd start at 0 sponsored attendees, and expand as incoming sponsorship increased beyond costs. Do people have a sense of an "ideal" number of sponsored attendees? As in "If funding is available, ideally we'd like to sponsor X number or Y percentage of attendees." And, I'll start with: - Accommodation: $28/person/day - Food: $20/person/day - Flight: $1000/person Aiming for an approximate average on flight price, figuring US/Canada flights could be as low as $300, while international flights could be $2000 or higher. (Numbers from past years will be helpful in these projections too.)
