The latter.

Not sure if that would be cheaper, an option to consider tho.

Given the subthread, seems like Debian isn't used in WA, so this would
be very little.

Given the subthread, debconf doesn't seem relevant to this list, so
nothing, apart perhaps from any work I might do during debcamp that
happens to be sent upstream or to a Debian derivative. Ignoring the
subthread, if anyone is interested, I could probably write something
about my experiences there. What would people like to get out of my
attendance of the conference?
