I now understand specifically what is being offered, and what is being
offered sounds reasonable to me.

However, i hope that "this is a free [gratis] offer that you can accept
or not" does not become a sufficient rationale for Debconf-related
sponsorship.

For example, were Apple to offer a gratis iPhone for all participants in
debconf12, i hope there would at least be a debate about having that as
part of the official sponsorship.  If that's not far enough for you,
what would you say about a gratis OEM Copy of Windows 7 Super Edition or
the latest copy of Mac OS X Smilodon for all participants?  Reasonable
sponsorship feature?  Please no.

Thanks Adnan for working out a reasonable offer with a friendly sponsor.

But there's no need to tell anyone to "chillax", to refer to raising
legitimate concerns as "going mental", or to protest about how many
bananas your country has :)  I'm sure debconf11 will go swimmingly.

Looking forward to July,
