Anyhow, I send the cost of my proposed flight to Quim Gil for approval and haven't heard from him since.

What a great prize from a great company, I tell you...
Yes ... Not to mention the:
  • "you have to share your room with another sponsored participant"
    and
  • "sorry extra-european winners but we realized there's too many of you so we have no cash to sponsor your flights and we have to approve your super-mega-giga-economic-nocheckedinluggages-coach-journeys and handover sponsorship to Linux Foundation"
    and
  • "may my "partner of life" share my same room given she's paying for her flight and any extra fees for the room?" - "Yes you can, you need to pay 2 extra nights" (which is reasonable and sharable BTW and IMHO) - "Why did you register a not-sponsored guest in your room" - "Because you told me!" - "Oh sorry, you are right, disregard our complaint"
    and
  • My bank is gonna charge me extra costs if I receive payments/reimburse from abroad (>30Euro)
Surely not a valuable medal for your image here my dear sPONSORS NOT!
