Re: [Debconf-team] Budget status - travel sponsorship
Two more general points on travel sponsorship:
Besides being confusing, the "amount I am unable to fund myself"
question seems unhelpful for when prices increase/decrease. Did we ever
actually calculate the implied "amount I *can* fund myself" and make
sure that that was deducted from the final request compared to the final
ticket price?
Prices will often have gone up since the questions were asked, so
whatever we do at this stage will tend to help people who inflated their
initial answers more than those who tried to list a minimum price. In a
future improved system this issue could be reduced by starting much
earlier (as previously discussed), but might it also be worth
implementing the system with some allowance for individuals to get
permission to increase the requirements (up to some percentage?) after
being granted sponsorship?
