The debconf-team attempted to give me sponsorship, and never filled out any question. I think I could have left the field blank, and gotten money. I now wish I had done this just to prove a point. My point here is: saying money is given based only on one field isn't completely true. Furthermore, I have said I have had any sort of financial need. In fact, I (think I have) at some times stated that I have no financial need so should not get any money. Briefly browsing reasons, it seems there are other people who got money who do not explain their need, including some people from developed countries. I would be interested in doing a more complete investigation of all of the reasons and fraction of people who answered each part. Another interesting test would be to compare to past years, see what kind of criteria were applied then. Given that there aren't announced changes this year, someone could expect the type of answers they gave in past years will still work this year. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 730 days, 16:58 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
