Hi! In previous years, some students attended to DebConf. Specially the last year, we encouraged them to attend. This year's DebConf organization was a bit chaotic and I did not feel like it was a good idea encourage students until very recently. Sadly, the period to ask for sponsorship (*) has now closed, and I do not know if it will be possible to get some exception. Let's see how much interests there is and then what can be done. Some questions: - did somebody inscribed to get to DebConf? - who did not subscribe and has interesting in attending? - if you are planning to attend, did you submit a talk/bof about your project? :)
Ana (*) There are two levels of sponsoring: - food and room, that is granted almost to everybody who requested it on time. This is the kind of sponsorship I refer when I say asking about an exception. - travel sponsorship, that is more carefully looked by a committe and might not be available for gsoc students given funds are quite limited and it is meant to people already involved in Debian. _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list Soc-coordination@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
