In the spirit of openness, the DebConf 10 Organizers are soliciting volunteers for the DebConf 10 Travel Sponsorship team. In an ideal world, anyone who requested DebConf travel sponsorship would receive it. Unfortunately, we do not have the unlimited budget required to make that possible. The travel sponsorship team is tasked with the difficult decision of determining where to allocate travel sponsorship funds as they become available. Sponsorship requests are typically assessed on criteria such as: * Involvement in Debian (and/or DebConf organization) * Amount of sponsorship requested relative to other requests from similar geographic locations We'd like to make the travel sponsorship selection process as fair as possible. As such, we're soliciting volunteers from the broader Debian community rather than filling the team with DebConf organizers. Ideal candidates for the team have both available time and are well connected in the Debian web of trust -- while not essential, high connectivity in the web of trust probably indicates familiarity with a broader range of potential DebConf attendees. The team will utilize a rating system within Pentabarf to each rank sponsorship applicants based on criteria decided by the team. Once these ratings have been completed, a meeting will be held on IRC to agree on the list of people who will initially be offered travel sponsorship (dependent on the availability of funds). An overview of the process from previous years is available [1]. If you'd like to volunteer for the team, please e-mail debconf-team@lists.debconf.org now to express your interest. We're looking for 10 team members to start work soon.
