For clarity: this may be multiple servers or VMs too, the encoding
software is capable of running on multiple nodes. Having said that,
virtualisation slows the transcoding down somewhat (especially the I/O
heavy bits of it), so it may be preferable to have bare material options
if they are available.

(we're using the same encoding software for FOSDEM, where it runs on 2
"storage" plus one "master" plus five "encoder slave" nodes all from the
same IaaS provider)

do you have any estimates of the number of sponsorship letters you may have sent ?

Dear  ChangZhuo Chen and friends,

Do you or anybody in the team keeping a count of number of sponsorship
e-mails you and people from debconf-team sen mails to prospective
sponsorsers.

While I didn't keep any count, it seems you alone sent something like
100 sponsorship letters, probably lot more as well as other team
members who volunteered for it. I hope neither you or anybody from the
Taiwan group burn out from the experience (yet). Looking from outside
in, it seems pretty stressful.

I will be putting up a blog post which I will headline with the Taiwan
debconf first and other matters.  If you or any other debconf-team
member has kept count and be willing to share those stats. then will
share them and also say something like 50% of the goal is already
fulfilled, inviting even more people to share their contacts and see
if we can get the push to make it more closer to the goal.

I'll wait till tomorrow morning/afternoon to have those stats. to be
shared after which I'll start writing the blog post. In absence of any
stats, will simply headline where we are and ask more people to join
the effort and then move to other things.

Look forward to you and the team's reply.
