Hi,
I of course have no problem with a web form for requesting sponsorship,
but I would like to see us have, like the Linux Foundation, something
that people sign which lists the obligations they have in return for
travel support (actually attending, for example - I don't want to see us

Summarising all the discussion a bit:
- a travel committee is suggested to take out the huge work of

I think, nevertheless, that it is essential that the board not push the
entire responsibility for reimbursement policy to a nominated travel

Hi Bruno,
Hey, Dave!
You are making an assumption of unlimited funds!
I'm not disagreeing out of the co-pay policy, I'm just thinking that

lowered or waived on a case-by-case basis. (If we adopt it.)

I feel strongly that students should be covered completely. I'd suggest that
