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.
