When Debian has paid for me to attend conferences on its behalf, the
money has come from Debian-UK. That in itself appears to contribute
fairly well to its stated aim.
(It's worth pointing out that debianshop.com is run by the same people
that keep inviting Debian to turn up at UK conferences and, uh, sell
t-shirts and stuff. They don't seem terribly deterred)
