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.
