I will be in Mozilla Balkans Ljubljana with Gent this weekend, so I can
handle it and try to find a cheaper solution (train to Thessaloniki and
traveling with Christos for a lot less)

Moreover, I can see that Max was the budget handler during past FAmSCo, so
what will we do know?
Elect a budget handler to work in collaboration with Max to manage budget?
(many tickets need care)
