The Debian Project's annual conference is slowly coming closer.
Visiting places around the world since 2000, DebConf will take place
this year in Managua, Nicaragua, in July and will again provide an
opportunity for people who contribute to Debian to meet in person for
face-to-face collaboration and discussions.
At DebConf we try to bring together as many Debian contributors as
possible, including those who could not afford to attend from their own
resources. You can help make DebConf12 a success by your organisation
becoming a sponsor, or by donating money as an individual.
[1] Individual donations can be made online in either US dollars or euros.

In addition to monetary donations, sponsorship can be provided in the
form of in-kind donations, or by lending equipment for the conference
period.
