I'd like the Git project to set up a more organized way to pay back the travel costs and the conference fee to the developers who come. For example the Git project could say that it will at least pay back: - all the travel costs to the 5 most important Git developers who come and ask, - half the travel costs to the 5 next most important Git developers who come and ask, - all the conference fee to the 15 most important Git developers who come and ask, I think it could help developers decide to come, and it looks like enough funding could be available, thanks to GitHub and the GSoC money. What do you think? Apart from that it's also possible to find ways to accommodate some developers for free, if they don't mind crashing in someone's spare room. So please don't hesitate to ask if you would like to come.
