If I remember correctly, it was a combined effort:
- Google paid for transport to DebConf13
- the DebConf13 budget provided accommodation and food for the students
Sponsored accomodation is open to everyone and will be awarded
according to individual assessment, so I think you should encourage
all students to apply accordingly, and if their (potential)
contribution to Debian is notable, then there ought to be no
problem.
I do not think we should categorically sponsor room & board for
a certain class of attendees, even if they can be somewhat
associated with a sponsor — that would need to be part of the
sponsoring package. In general, we should avoid doing any sort of
special treatment.
I think that's a decision for the bursaries team to make, once it's been
constituted.
IIRC google money for GSoC was a separate fund (outside the DebConf
sponsorship), completely outside Debian and DebConf (see it as employer
payment for a conference). The only exception we made was to look again
for food and accommodation sponsorship (because GSoC fund was created
after sponsorship deadline)
BTW also Debian gave us in past a special fund for "newbies". For DC13
we applied too late for such fund.
But both funds/sponsorships were handled outside DebConf.
