It sounds like this is confusion about terminology then.  "Sponsored" refers
to those who are attending *at no cost to themselves*, with their room and
board paid from conference funds.  Professional and corporate attendees are
not sponsored, because they (or their employer) pay their way - but those
payments have been made *to DebConf* as part of registration, and it is
expected that DebConf will arrange rooms on their behalf.  I can assure you
that the professional and corporate attendees will be quite unhappy if they
are asked to pay for their rooms *again* upon arrival in Banja Luka. :)
