[EuroPython] EuroPython 2007 talk funding application

[Laura Creighton]

I'll deal with this.  I thought that europython-sponsorship was
a list for people getting companies like Google to spnsor
Europython, not people wanting sponsorship.  If there are any
more people like this on that list which I am not reading,
can you send them all over to me as well?
