+Hi!
+
+DebConf6 will take place from the 14 May to the 22th 2006 in Oaxtepec, Mexico.
+It is preceded by an unofficial work camp called "debcamp", from the 6th to the
+12th of May. 
+On the 13th May, Debian Day, an information day for users, the press and
+Important People will be held. This will be mostly in spanish, and partly
+translated.
+
+To be able to plan and budget for this we ask people who need travel support to
+tell us as early as possible. This is done so that we might take advance of
+the cheaper flight prices and special offers that can be found.
+
+Are you interested in attending DebConf6, but can't afford the
+entire trip?  
+Are you working on any aspect of Debian?  
+
+If so, please register at
+http://www.debconf.org/comas/attendees/new and make sure you tag
+the "Yes" radio button to the question "Will you require travel
+sponsorship?".
+
+Please ensure you specify:
+- the area you work on within Debian
+- the approximate travel costs, if booked well in advance
+  (accomodation and food is taken care of)
+- how much of those costs are you able to pay yourself
+- your contact information (phone required)
+
+We, the DebConf6 organizers together with the DPL, will apply some common sense
+and fuzzy-logic filters and match the incoming requests against our vague idea
+of how the budget will look like and come back to you for further planning and
+information before February 17th 2006 (11 Weeks ahead of debcamp).
+
+We will try to handle this process in a semi-open way. It will be kept private
+to some extent as many people are not comfortable about sharing travel dates
+and intentions publicly and might feel that their financial make up is a
+private issue. 
+
+The decisions about sponsorship won't be drawn by lot or decided on arbitrarily
+but according to our general consensus.
