Re fundraising:
Obviously since this is *squat* conf we cannot reasonably either
accept a (public) sponsor or charge for tickets. The squat people
at the venue might want to get some money for the venue but we need
to discuss with them first. If they don't demand payment, we should
give them some kind of gift when leaving which might also cost some
money. Beyond that I don't forsee any significant costs which cannot
be engineered around.
For collecting funds I'd prefer passing a hat around quietly than
having a public fundraiser or selling tickets.

Thanks,
Caleb
