Hi,
I have an idea...maybe helps, but I'm not FAmSCo member. It was always
a problem that lot of people wants support for covering the costs,
however we never had enough for everybody - witch means a bit pain.
However, I think would be nice to have by FAmSCo an official
invitational right for few number of the attendees as thank you/reward
for his/her work within the community - to those who are not able to
make it at all, with full coverage. Same way we had t-shirts, would be
possible to have this for SOME events, eg. FLOCK?
Thanks,
Zoltan

I totally agree with Christoph and Robert. And thanks to Jiri to bring
this up.
Flock is the new form of FUDCon and this year, it would be held in EMEA.
I think EMEA contributors should be sponsored fully/partially to attend.

And IMHO, that's the key point. Flock is in Europe and budget for
sponsoring EMEA people to come is not much.
Kind regards,
