Here I have to respectfully disagree. Anyone who uploads a change to
an official OpenStack source code repository for review and has it
approved/merged since Juno release day gets a 100% discount comp
voucher for the full conference and design summit coming up in May.
In addition, much like a lot of other large free software projects
do for their conferences, the OpenStack Foundation sets aside
funding[1] to cover travel and lodging for participants who need it.
Let's (continue to) make sure this _is_ "really FOSS," and that any
of our contributors who want to be involved can be involved.
