"Otherwise involved in Debian" would probably be interesting to have split
more... artist, translator, legal supporter, dc12 localteam :)

i think thats fine just btw, we don't have "speaker" here. which IMO only
would make sense, if people can have multiple roles.

I think we should give people the option to only request food or accomodation
sponsorship. After all, it reduces costs for us.
And then, we should have a disclaimer, that we are _aiming for_ enough
sponsorship to be able to sponsor food+accom... (which might be(come) the
reason why we cannot sponsor both...)

fine with me. just add a disclaimer "we'll try to satisfy your needs.."

just "luck", no options to choose. we have enough work already. obviously
people can express wishes/needs in the comments... but we shouldnt offer hotel
options.
