I get the feeling from LinkedIn statements that some have already been approved for sponsorship... is this a true or false assumption? I haven't seen any updates on selection since the process was discussed-- did I just miss it?

Anyway, how/when should I expect to learn if I may be approved? I have another conference scheduled at the same time but if I was eligible for sponsorship I'd MUCH prefer to go to the Maemo summit and just cancel the other. I'm making great progress on a presentation!
