Adopt a speaker!

These are out-of-town speakers (and links to their proposals) who could present at Sugarcamp.

Please feel free to add anyone I've missed; I just compiled this quickly by scanning emails to devel@ and sugar@ with 'Proposal' in the title. If you're one of the listed developers, please add your location and the approximate cost of airfare, if you can determine it -- or remove yourself if you've made a proposal but aren't actually interested in attending, or can donate your own travel costs. I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).

Marco Pesenti Gritti (marcopg).: Core Sugar developer; Proposals: Desktop compatibility, Top Five performance problems, Web-based activities; From: Milan, Italy. Cost: booked for US$542.

Tomeu Vizoso: Core Sugar developer; Proposals: None; From: Prague, Czech Republic Cost: booked for US$720
