The debconf organizers (mostly Andreas Schuldei) have worked really 
hard to get *all* of that money *themself*, so the organizers 
can damn well choose themself how to use that money[1].

Please take some perspective,a free conference and travel sponsoring
is *enermous* priviledge. It's not something anyone should take
for granted.

Cheers,

    *sponsors* on where the money will be used.
