Good question. I am not on the bursaries team, but I would like to offer my opinion. Feel free to do whatever you want with it. ;) Other conferences usually just waive the conference fee and include food by means of dinners etc.. Since we don't really have a fee, and since our costs are low, I think we can offer room&board for the entire conference (a 300€ value for DC15). Another reason that speaks for their sponsoring: mid-term, knowing that getting a talk accepted means getting a wild-card for sponsorship applications, this should help increase the incentive for people to try hard(er) to get a talk accepted. In combination with rigorous selection-based-on-quality and limited slots, this should help increase the quality of DebConf in general. So I am in favour, but I think it shouldn't be automatic, i.e. people should still be required to request it like everyone else. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@debconf.org> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16: Cape Town or Montreal? https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16
