Well, that's the question :-).  In particular, there are several more
people on that page that say they might maybe need some amount of
funding, but it is not really clear.

Derek - is 0 still right?
Lapo/Gabriele - We know what the hotel costs now; I hope it's not too
  much?
Jack - ditto?
Markus - if you haven't bought stuff yet, you might want to put your
  extra days before the summit instead of after, so you and Tommy can
  split the room cost then?  Just a random idea to consider.
Thomas M. - $400 for the hotel seems high?

Other questions: anyone who is still unsure and isn't on that page at
all?  (I know there is at least one.)  Money needed for transportation
during the summit?  (I suspect we'll have to rent some vans, but the
costs will depend on a few things.)

I do strongly suspect we'll manage, but would feel a lot better with
more detailed information to base that on :-).
