That's a good question, I thought about that already and had discussions 
with a few people about that. It seems that a workshop related to find out 
about those architecture problems, discuss possible solutions would be the 
first step to actually know about it. If you want a serious, bussines 
like-calculation it would work like that:
3 Days * 10 hours * 6 people * 80? = 14400? (not including baverages and 
travel cost)
To get back to your first question, as I do not seriously see anyone 
sponsoring that event, it ends up again on volunteers...

BTW: With that amount of money, the change in TYPO3 has not been started, 
but a concept would be available ;)
