[FOSDEM] Looking for sponsorship...!!

[Francisco Picolini]

Hi Jeremiah,

First of all, I would like to point out that Mozilla doesn't have a "lot
of money", as you may think, and we are trying to accommodate the
maximum amount of volunteers to travel to FOSDEM. So please, don't do
comments like this without informing yourself first.

Hi Sumanth,

I personally send an email to mozillians mailing list, to Reps general
mailing list, other public lists in Mozilla, and a topic in Discourse,
that you can see here:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/fosdem-call-for-papers/993
and here:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/fosdem-call-for-volunteers/1285

Explaining the reasons and the restrictions we have for this year. For
budgeting issues, we can only cover full travel and accommodation for a
certain amount of people, and those people has been already selected
about 2 weeks ago.

If you need more information about this, please feel free to contact me
by email.

Cheers,
Franc.-
