Sponsoring a Tails hackfest?

[Lucas Nussbaum <leader@debian.org>]

Hi,

The Tails project is a Debian-based live system focusing on privacy and
anonymity. For more information about Tails and their relationship with
Debian, see:

Tails is organizing a two-day hackfest and a contributors summit in
July. They are requesting sponsorship from Debian for the events, in
order to cover travel costs for contributors. Their overall budget is
between 10kEUR and 20kEUR.

Given that:
- they are a derivative working closely with Debian (and being a live
  system, having their own public identity makes sense)
- they are doing a lot of their work in Debian -- the hackfest could be
  seen as a Debian sprint
- they are addressing important issues, and clearly contribute to Debian
  having something to say about such issues

I am planning to allocate 5000 EUR.

Comments?
