Yes, we have to use it wisely, but this problem is not about money, I
know
very well what kind of budgets flow through Fedora and RedHat. Comparably
the 70$ difference on a solo room instead of a shared one is irrelevant.
It's irrelevant whether it's 500$ for the contributor which we happily
approve, or 570$ with a single room.
I'm not sure on the math there, but Fedora really does have limited
resources. The difference is definitely not irrelevant. Our sponsor may
have a lot of revenue, but the money *Fedora* has to spend on travel is
a tiny percent of a percent of a percent of that.
Saving money is important. It's awesome when people feel comfortable
sharing a room to keep expenses low.
But, encouraging diversity and making our contributors feel comfortable
and welcome is *also* important. I think it's a good use of our
resources, even though they are limited.
