We can say that we ended up having a larger travel support budget and we should be able to provide travel support for everyone who has an accepted talk who asked for support.

Ok that was fun. You can also just add other existing channels/rooms to a "Space", so a space can be a curated list of rooms I like and want to share.

As part of the CFP process, we had people tell us whether they needed support in order to come join us in person. We prioritized active speakers and community participants in making our selections.
We'll be announcing our accepted speakers and stipend recipients this week.

We set aside a good chunk of the budget for travel support, but #ATmosphereConf really does have people coming from all over.
Having @newpublic.org as a partner makes it possible to include more travel stipend recipients from Europe.
