Our sponsorship team has asked us to remind you that putting up a
conference like ours costs money. Please consider asking whether your
organisation would be interested in contributing to running PyCon
Australia. The program committee and sponsorship committee are separate and
make separate decisions, but the warm fuzzy feelings are shared all around.
