An open issue I failed to mention in the first post: As the rewards are
linked to SoC project successes, we won't know what the actual amount is
before autumn... Some possible solutions:
  * The sponsorships are defined as e.g. 1/4 of the total amount,
whatever it ends up being
  * A philantrophic maemo-related commercial entity promises to sponsor
the missing amount if a SoC project does not get finished.

Anyway, if we're going to act on this, the time is _now_: booking
flights at the last minute is mostly not a good idea. Quim, I assume you
as the SoC program admin have the ball now?

 What are the thoughts of the other SoC students? Rest of people?

+1 from me.

Ola,

 proposal (IMHO) I have heard so far.

 +1 from me.

This seems ok to me with the following caveat:
'we are aware that climate change poses a serious threat to this amazing planet 
and its peoples.
We encourage bike, foot and tram over car, train over plane and pdf over paper!'

Well, I was looking at the quite interesting GUADEC 2007 
programme and thought how nice it would be to attend (and how 
impossible it is with my current budget)... So, here's my proposal:

  Give travel stipends upon request to maemo community members who'd
  like to go to a maemo-related conference during this year.
