if we invite a guest speaker from anywhere, it is common courtesy to
look after travel etc. That is beside the point. As for inviting guest
speakers from abroad, I was -1 on it, I am now -0. I am more worried
about getting sponsors - the one company I was hoping for has refused
(although the open source division of the company is still trying to do
something - but it will not be platinum).
