As every year, I doubt we will ever¹ reach a perfect system for expressing who needs to be rated higher and when to communicate the decision. In order to plan with >3 months time sponsorship allocation, so that people can count on a ticket to stay at the level it was quoted, we need a funds acquisition logistics quite far from our current reach. While I recognize many people see a big failure point our way of handling travel sponsorship, I sincerely cannot imagine a realistic way to improve it much. Yes, we have done several improvements over the years, and I hope to keep making small steps for the better, but sorry - Answering in what I'd consider to be a nice timeframe is outside our possibilities. ¹ Unless we reach a "100% funding for everything and everybody" status _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
