[IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] yet another motion regarding Samson's travel

[Lionel Laské]

-1 for this motion.

Participation to the GSoC Summit is already a privilege. It's fair that
Samson as a mentor could have opportunity to attend to it.
I don't see any advantage for SugarLabs on the Samson side trip, so there
is no reason for SugarLabs to pay for it.

          Lionel.
