I won't comment on the bursary process/stats because these things change over time. As I said, it's just much better to contact the current team instead if one has any question related to it. I appreciate the time you're taking to help a potencial atteendee on this subject, but, for the records, I have to point here that your answer is inaccurate. Either the '50:1' ratio or '550 accepted bursaries in Germany' don't make any sense at all. > I do understand the need to have bursary team members to have privacy > but having the process documented might make it easier for others to > understand what (if anything) can be made better. There's no trick, everything one should know is documented in the website: https://debconf18.debconf.org/about/bursaries/ and in the registration form itself. Again, your help is welcome, but sometimes simply pointing people to those who know the answers is much more valuable than conjecturing. Bests, -- tiago
