Sivan, are you stating the cost because you need funding for your travel?

So far i thought we would fund travel costs for contributors, i.e. people
who have submitted PRs and/or cared for pytest core or plugin development 
in some ways.  However, I am open to consider providing some funds for newcomers.

FWIW, i plan to fix the sprint location till wednesday. It's likely
going to be a bit on the outskirts but it will be within a 5 minute
train reach from the main station. Therefore going for accomodation in
the city center is perfectly fine. More infos later in the week,
just arrived back from a little vacation.
