That's a shame, we're going to lose a lot of excellent speakers due to
not being able to provide financial assistance. (linux.conf.au only
provides travel assistance to speakers accepted in the main track.)

We're hoping that this event proves to be a success and that people can
replicate it in their local communities or perhaps that something
similar can be run on a larger scale at a later date. Since this is the
first trial of the idea that I'm aware of, we're starting small.
