[Please keep Sylvestre and myself Cc'd] Hi folks, I'm contacting you, as a GSoC admin, in order to arrange for this year's students stay at DebConf. As you know, each and every year we try our best to have the GSoC students engage with the Debian community at large, and what best opportunity is there than having them attend DebConf? I know for a fact that last year's attendees had a great (and productive) time. Furthermore, this year's edition pretty much coincides with the end of the GSoC schedule, which means that it comes at a perfect time for students to get on a stage and talk about what they have done for Debian during the summer! As was done in the past, Google has offered us to reimburse the GSoC students for their travel expenses to attend the conference. We therefore are looking for sponsorship of their food and accomodation costs only. As far as our survey turned up, 5 to 7 students have shown interest in attending DebConf (we haven't heard from everyone yet, but the number shouldn't go much higher). Do you think it would be possible to have their stay sponsored? Thanks a bunch for considering, -- Nicolas Dandrimont BOFH excuse #327: The POP server is out of Coke
