I was responsible for coordinating a lot of that for 2016 but unfortunately I am not able to volunteer the time to do that again for 2017. Are the admins or any other mentors interesting in coordinating this? There is a couple of hours effort involved in gathering travel costs from interested participants, putting them into a spreadsheet, coordinating with one of the local groups to provide visa letters, collecting the receipts later and forwarding them to the DPL and treasurer at the end. Several of the students have proposed talks for FOSDEM and many of them also get involved in volunteering so I feel the total effort they contribute easily exceeds the time taken to administer the funding.
