I don't envisage bursaries volunteers as people that need to be on site to do their job. If bursaries team members are applying for sponsorship (primarily) as debconf volunteers for some other team (e.g. video, front desk), then they apply in the same way as anybody else. Otherwise we are left with the usual conflict of interest problem (mentioned by Patty), which I think is independent from this discussion. > Who decides for applications from chairs? > Who decides for applications from coordination team lead & shadow? Both of these cases are a bit different in that the people involved are known when the budget is made. So I would say that could be part of the global budget process: each of these groups can submit an estimate to the team as a whole, and this can be negociated/approved as part of the budget. > Presumably, a sponsored team lead or shadow will be covered from their > team's budget.

But I don't think the job of the coordination team is onerous or time consuming here. > Please don't make this a "you didn't use up your funds this year, so > you get less next year" thing. I think this has to be budgeted year by year. Previous history can inform that discussion, but it should be primarily about what this year's debconf needs. cheers, d
