I'm perplexed by the deadline for the bursaries being earlier than the date in which there'll be a decision about what the format of the conference will be like. The call for registration implies that one would be registering to a similar format of conference as the previous years. As such, I will pass on the registration, and incidentally I resent that this pidgeonholes me as "the only thing you want to do is lay low". Can you however confirm that if on the 8th of June the format of the conference will change into something that one would instead feel motivated to attend, and such format would still requires expenses for which one could use a bursary, then the bursaries deadline will be extended? Otherwise, what I see is that you are effectively forcing people who would like to attend *some* form of DebConf, and aren't sure of their financial means, to apply to something they can't participate, in order not to lose the possibility of being funded for something they would like to.
