Hi, I was asked if I would consider reimbursing travel and accomodation costs for participation in Bug Squashing Parties. Fixing our RC bugs (and generally helping the release team with getting Jessie in a releasable state) is clearly something that we should all encourage and get involved with, and Bug Squashing Parties have an important role for that. So, I am willing to approve such reimbursement requests, with the following conditions: - The requester must already be a Debian contributor (and preferably have demonstrated an ability to contribute to this kind of work): I don't think that we should extend the sponsorship to people who are not yet involved in Debian. - The requester should agree to communicate about his/her activities during the BSP, in a blog post for example: the goal here is too increase the visibility of such work and contribute to making it everybody's problem. (Note that this point is not a strong requirement, but rather something that is nice to do.) - The max amount reimbursed will be 100 EUR or USD$125 (or equivalent): this should be enough to help attend a local/regional BSP -- if there's no such event, it might be a sign that one should try to organize such an event. - As usual, this should follow the processes described at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Reimbursement (And now people will be angry at me for not announcing this prior to the Paris BSP. Sorry!) Lucas
