For this to work, we have to ask for sponsorship right now - this meas we can get sponsorship for the air tickets sponsored as well. Can someone give me a figure of (max) number of developers/lecturers who should be sponsored? If we can factor this in in the sponsorship, we get over the main difficult of hosting it "far away" from Europe/North America. The sposorship and organizers are actually related with "gnugraf" - a user oriented Libre Graphics event that is holding its 4th instance this year: http://gnugraf.org/ People are interested in making "gnugraf" much larger for 2012 - and are getting professional help for this to happen - I am meeting the person responsible for getting this sponsorship for the next 2 days (Eliane Domingos, copyed here) - so that we can have "gnugraf 5" and "Libre Graphics Meeting 2012" as one single thing.
