DebConf is the annual Debian project meeting, an event filled with 
discussions, workshops and coding parties. DebConf15, the 16th Debian 
Conference, will be held from 15 to 22 August 2015 in Heidelberg, 
Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org.

DebConf is not just for Debian Developers, we welcome all members of our
community active in different areas, like translation, documentation, 
artwork, testing, specialized derivatives, and many other ways that help 
make Debian better.

In fact, we would like to open DebConf to an even broader audience, and 
we strongly believe that more diversity at DebConf and in the Debian 
community will significantly help us towards our goal of becoming the 
Universal Operating System.

The DebConf team is proud to announce that we have started designing a 
specific diversity sponsorship programme to attract people to DebConf 
that would otherwise not consider attending our conference or not be 
able to join us.

In order to apply for this special sponsorship, please write an email to
outreach at debian.org, before July 6th, about your interest in Debian and 
your sponsorship needs (accommodation, travel). Please include a 
sentence or two about why you are applying for a Diversity Sponsorship. 
You can also nominate people you think should be considered for this 
sponsorship programme.

Please feel free to send this announcement on to groups or individuals 
that could be interested in this sponsorship programme.

And we're also looking forward to your feedback. We're just getting 
started and you can help shape these efforts.

See you in Heidelberg!
The DebConf Outreach Team
