Clint Adams is a very long-time contributor to the Debian project - so
long I can't even think all ey has done. Clint was denied travel
sponsorship this year, despite needing it. Clint's listed reason was
not worse than some other people's reasons who got funded (and similar
to past years), and I have recently learned that an improved reason
was lost due to a Pentabarf race condition with two people editing a
page at once.
Furthermore, I would like to make a personal appeal for Clint's
sponsorship, as Clint was important to making DebConf10 a success,
which was natural important to me.
There are already at least seven people I know who want to contribute,
even without a public call yet. It won't be too much per person.
If you would like to contribute to Clint's travel sponsorship, email
me privately by Thursday 23:59 UTC (with maximum amount / preferred
share/ratio for your contribution) and I will work out everyone's
shares.
Thanks,
- Richard
