Note that the GNOME Foundation would likely be interested in helping to
sponsor travel subsidies.  Typically such subsidies are given when it
would benefit the GNOME accessibility community to have a presence, to
participate in decision making, or to give a presetnation that would
benefit the GNOME community.  The Foundation budget is not limitless,
but I would imagine some high-priority events could fit into the budget.

If there are qualified and interested people in attending any such
conference, then I would recommend contacting the GNOME Foundation and
seeing if there might be an opportunity to get travel sponsorship from
them.
