...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.

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.
