</div>I would just pay all travel costs and food and be done with it, and<br>

bandwidth?</blockquote><div><br>Obviously, if we have enough money, we pay all travel costs, and any extra goes to Sugarlabs. My proposal was what to do if there isn't enough money. If we had $600 and two people came for $400 and $800, my system would give them $350 and $550 and they would pay $50 and $250 out of pocket. This system is proposed as the average of the possible fair proposals (even split and proportional split). It is explicitly intended to be nobody's first choice, even mine (I'd go proportional), so as to presuppose an attitude of compromise. <br>
