We are happy to announce that the Travel Committee is ready to receive applications for sponsorships to attend to GUADEC 2013. The instructions are detailed at http://live.gnome.org/Travel Please read them carefully. Deadline: May 31, 2013, 19:00 UTC. You can start sending your applications now!After further consideration the new deadline is: June 3, 2013, 19:00 UTC.I'm a little confused, or perhaps just unfamiliar with this process. How can the deadline to request sponsorship be on June 3rd when the deadline for speakers to confirm their attendance is already June 2nd ?
Bad combination of factors. However, speakers are encouraged to apply soon. If the only reason that a speaker has to not confirm yet is the sponsorship, then you should confirm and say you are applying for sponsorship. We will coordinate with the papers committee. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
