Just two ideas:Besides the sponsorship given (travel airfare and/or accommodation), wecould give to sponsored people a nice Gnome t-shirt with a legend such as: "I'm attending to this conference thanks to Gnome Foundation" (or something better). Baris told me that Linux Foundation has a similar policy. It is a way to promote Gnome Foundation, and makes people aware aboutthe effort we are doing and how we are working together in our project.
A trip report from all sponsored attendees is a must IMO - not just about the fun times they had during late night partying, but also identifying the sessions they thought were interesting, the trends coming out of the conference, or any other detail that would be interesting enough for external media people to pick up.
