...further, I don't think there's a process (yet) for making proposals for the dev summit, so I don't think it's possible to answer this question at this time.
I just assumed that whoever will be evaluating these knows that, and filled in "not yet!" under "Have you submitted a proposal for an activity at the Wikimedia Developer Summit?".
Similarly for, "Are there any topics that you would like to see at this year's event?", there is only an extremely rough draft of these topics at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Topic_ideas -- and I think I proposed about half of these. So I self-cited, but it's not clear how useful this question will be in general to other attendees at this point. --scott

I'm a little confused. Under the "WMF Staff Questions" section of the registration it's asking "Why should you be sponsored by WMF to attend the Wikimedia Developer Summit?" and it says that "We will only be approving WMF staff to attend this event who are planning to actively engage...", etc. implying that approval to attend the developer summit is contingent on their answer to this question. However, budget owners were already asked to fill out flight and lodging approvals for all of their direct reports (for both the All Staff and Dev Summit). Is there a second round of vetting that will happen at some point?

The deadline to request travel sponsorship is Monday October 24th.
And when will the requests be ansered?
I am just thinking of travelling (still sot sure how useful it is for me at the moment and if I can leave my work), but in case of applying I
would
have a trouble.
Last year I visited Iran as a tourist, and since then I have been a potential terrorist according to the government of the United States of America. That means I have to apply for a visa 3 months prior to
travelling
(not like other Hungarians who did not visit Iran, and may travel easily for that reason). I think other people may be involved, too.
