Hi. I'd be very open to Debian members approaching asking for travel and accomodation sponsorship if an event like this would help them in their Debian work. That Debian work might include existing projects as well as reaching out to tell others about the Debian community.
It doesn't seem very likely that we'd want to directly sponsor the event although I'd be open to an argument about that from Debian members. Copying debian-outreach in hopes of getting you advice on where to best contact members of our community who might be interested in this. >>>>> "ishaan" == ishaan malik <[email protected]> writes: ishaan> Respected sir This is regarding Mozilla's Global sprint ishaan> event being held by Mozilla group Delhi .
