Not really sure what events Josip is referring to, but if they are willing to pay their own way, I think it seems ok. IE: They aren't taking sponsor's money. The main thing we would have to be careful of is, overbooking of a venues due to non Debian people signing up. (There should always be preference for Debian contributors).
Maybe, there is an opportunity here. If you want to bring a non-Debian person, you need to sponsor both the non Debian person and a Debian person. (Just a thought). (Keep in mind this is from an outsider's point of view, as I am relatively new to the Debian community) Cheers, Brian On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 6:20 PM, Holger Levsen <hol...@layer-acht.org> wrote: > Hi Josip, > > On Samstag, 14.
